Summary: disk access problems on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu Project: GNU GRUB Submitted by: tkoeller Submitted on: Sonntag 31.12.2006 um 00:17 Category: Disk & Partition Severity: Major Priority: 5 - Normal Item Group: Software Error Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Originator Name: Thomas Koeller Originator Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Release: 0.97 Reproducibility: None Planned Release: _______________________________________________________ Details: I compiled grub-0.97 from sources on my x86_64-pc-linux-gnu system. My tool chain is gcc-4.1.1/binutils-2.17. The GRUB thus built works to some extent. I can create a boot floppy, as described in the info pages, and use it to load and boot my linux kernel manually. However, if I try to install grub on my hard disk, I get weird errors: >-------------------------------------------------------------- sarkovy:~# /sbin/grub-install /dev/hda GNU GRUB version 0.97 (1433218132K lower / 1433218132K upper memory) [ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported.
