Hi,on a computer with an IDE hard disk and an external SATA hard disk, GRUB gives the SATA hard disk a number different number from the one it gave during the installation process. First, menu.lst looks like this: .. title Ubuntu root (hd1,0)kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 initrd /boot/initrd.. then I install GRUB: sudo grub root (hd1,0) setup (hd1) then GRUB tells me that the installation was successful, but when I start the computer, Ubuntu starts with the configuration: root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 initrd /boot/initrd
It appears that you install grub on hd1, which it is usually the second hard disk from the bios point of view. (As long as you have a first hard disk it would boot the first hard disk instead of the second hard disk) Do not you have any linux on ide hard disk and thus you're booting this one? It would try to run setup (hd0) instead of setup (hd1) and tell us if it fixes things. adrian15 _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list Bug-grub@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
