Summary: grub2 can't see my linux kernel file Project: GNU GRUB Submitted by: jaimet Submitted on: Thu Feb 4 12:50:54 2010 Category: Filesystem Severity: Major Priority: 5 - Normal Item Group: Software Error Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Originator Name: Jaime Originator Email: enopa...@gmail.com Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Release: Release: 1.97 Reproducibility: Every Time Planned Release: None _______________________________________________________ Details: Hi. I have a problem using grub2 version 1.97~beta4 on my Thinkpad X31. I've installed grub2 successfully, and when I switch on, the grub screen appears, but when I try to find my linux kernel file, grub2 can't see it. I've had a great conversation with Jordan Uggla over on the help-grub mailing list but I can't seem to get past this problem. The archive for the thread is at: http://www.mail-archive.com/help-g...@gnu.org/msg00109.html In case the reason why grub2 can't see my kernel file is due to a bios limitation, I've tried using the ata module instead of the "normal" access method (Jordan mentioned that using the ata module would overcome bios limitations) but even using the ata module, I can tab-complete to the correct partition, then on to the correct directory, but grub2 then thinks that the correct directory is empty. I've also now tried repartitioning / re "formatting" / reinstalling using different geometries in case this would help, but I still have the same problem. What can I do to help debug this problem? Thank you. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?28807> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list Bug-grub@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
