There's a bug in GRUB 0.97 on Intel 965 Chipsets, the DVD drive
doesn't work if booting from GRUB from the hard drive in either
Windows Vista or Ubuntu Linux.
If I replace GRUB with LILO it works perfectly.
1) But that's nonsense. The only reason that I see that Grub disables a
cdrom is that the bios uses an standard interrupt for disabling the DVD
drive... so it is not a grub problem.
But it works fine with LILO. While I appreciate you may be saying that
the underlying problem rests with the BIOS manufacturer, LILO manages to
work around and I would have thought GRUB could do likewise (and given
that I prefer GRUB, I'd like it to ;-))
2) If you use XP (not vista) and Ubuntu that the same problem persists ?
Unfortunately I only have a Vista licence.
3) Cannot it be that grub kernel parametres are not ok and lilo kernel
parametres are ok?
Nope, the same parameters are used.
Cheers,
Andy
