Thank you all for your replies. Finally, I've created a grub boot floppy, chose to not install a bootloader, booted into the new system and installed & configured grub in the new system. No problem at all. Maybe I've should have tried this a bit sooner, but I'm soooo spoiled with the almost-always-smooth debian installer... :)Hi All, I've trouble installing the bootloader (both grub and lilo fail). I'm using the netinstall cd-image to install. My first idea was a problem with my RAID controller (Adaptec 2020ZCR, running a 4 disc raid 5 array) but it even fails to install a bootloader to a floppy disc. So I think it's a general problem, instead of a hardware problem.It always returns the same error message: The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly. The thing I found out is that the new / filesystem is still mounted under /target, but I guess this is normal while installing...? (never bothered to look, since it always works out fine). Any suggestions welcome!Do you have a seperate partition for /boot? I have seen grub in sarge fail in that case. Creating a symlink helps it though. ln -s . /target/boot/boot Newer versions of grub are a bit smarter in my experience. Len Sorensen Thanks! Dirk |
