Lenny stable, here is the respective part of my menu.lst:
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-2-686
root (hd1,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-686 root=/dev/sdb1 ro quiet
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-686
I'm getting an error on boot that's related to the root (hd1,0) line:
Filesystem type unknown, Partition type 0xde
0xde is a dell maintenance partition. fdisk -l /dev/sdb returns the
following:
$ fdisk -l /dev/sdb
Disk /dev/sdb: 80.0 GB, 80000000000 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9726 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xd2bd9035
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 * 1 9396 75473338+ 83 Linux
/dev/sdb2 9397 9726 2650725 5 Extended
/dev/sdb5 9397 9726 2650693+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
And grub is showing:
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
(hd1,0)
So everything is in correctly. The Grub partition type check is
returning that the partition type is dell maintenance when it's actually
ext3. How do I correct this?
BTW, I can boot in fine by deleting the root (hd1,0) line completely, or
moving it to the end (although the error message still shows when I do
the latter):
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-2-686
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-686 root=/dev/sdb1 ro quiet
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-686
root (hd1,0)
