I setup the redhat 8 on the first extended partition at first. After using the disk druid to create the filesystem, my hard disk map like this: hdb0--------fat32 hdb7--------ext3 / hdb8---------swap hdb9---------ext3 /home freespace hdb5----------fat32 hdb6----------fat32 A few days later, I format the freespace as fat32 in winxp. Then, I restart my pc, and the grub fail to display the menu. I had to boot up manually using root(hdx,x) command!
It is fine to boot both winxp and redhat 8---redhat 8 can't find the swap partition at the first time, but I fixed it by editing the fstab file! The problem seems come from the partition list, when I try to use the redhat cd to fix this problem, it show me the partition list like this: hdb0--------fat32 hdb5--------ext3 / hdb6---------swap hdb7---------ext3 /home hdb8,hdb9,hd10----fat32 Then I boot into redhat and try to reinstall grub in the MRB! I edit the grub.conf and change this two line root=(hd0,4) kernel=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 root=/dev/hdb5 then start the grub: root(hd0,5) setup(hd0) It return the error message : ......... Runing "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+22 p (hd0,5)/boot/stage2 /boot/grub/grub.conf"...failed Error 12:Invalide device request I had try different set of grub.conf like root=(hd0,5) kernel=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 root=/dev/hdb6 It didn't work! So ,What's the problem, how can i fix it? winglion [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-16 -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
