Hi, I get garbage displayed as soon as either the MBR or stage 1 is loaded, and the machine crashes. I've just installed two brand new Western Digital WD3200YS disk in a (debian) RAID-1 configuration. I have an Intel PERL 2.8GHz motherboard.
I'm currently booting from a grub floppy until I can fix this. The previous disks in the machine were IDE disks, and grub worked fine. The new disks have all the old data, so all the grub files are present. I installed grub like so: grub> device (hd0) /dev/sda grub> root (hd0,0) grub> setup (hd0) grub> device (hd0) /dev/sdb grub> root (hd0,0) grub> setup (hd0) Here's some info about the disks: # hdparm -I /dev/sda /dev/sda: ATA device, with non-removable media Model Number: WDC WD3200YS-01PGB0 Serial Number: WD-WCAPD2664999 Firmware Revision: 21.00M21 Standards: Supported: 7 6 5 4 Likely used: 7 Configuration: Logical max current cylinders 16383 16383 heads 16 16 sectors/track 63 63 -- CHS current addressable sectors: 16514064 LBA user addressable sectors: 268435455 LBA48 user addressable sectors: 625142448 device size with M = 1024*1024: 305245 MBytes device size with M = 1000*1000: 320072 MBytes (320 GB) Here's my grub config: # cat /boot/grub/menu.lst default 0 timeout 5 color cyan/blue white/blue title 2.6.17.7 root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17.7-zorg root=/dev/md0 ro Here's the version info about grub: # dpkg -l grub | grep grub ii grub 0.97-16.1 GRand Unified Bootloader Many thanks, Thomas _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list Bug-grub@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
