Hello! I'm one of the managers of the list Andrew, so I'm the one who okayed the posting. That being stated, was this the version of GRUB that travels with the Ubuntu collection? Or did you obtain it from our repository? I ask because the one that they provide could have been tailored to work within their methods of managing Linux. I should also add that the posting of your configuration file is also a good clue to further generating some useful advice. Also not sending messages in HTML is also helpful. --- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- "Remember the Force will be with you. Always."

Please excuse me if this is clearly spelt out in a FAQ somewhere but I couldn't find it. Basically I have 2 PATA hard drives and one Sata hard drive. hda, hdb and sda respectively. I have ubuntu installed on hdb and windows xp on hda. Sda is for storage. Okay so when I install ubuntu and go to restart for the first time it hangs on stage 1.5 with an error 17. No amount of reinstalling grub helps it. In desperation I unplugged my sata drive and lo and behold it booted up fine. Is there any reason it might do this? Is there some way to make it work with the sata drive attached? If I haven't provided enough information please email me.
