Is your grub.conf correct? Does it specify the correct GRUB root? The full output of the installation attempt would be interesting. > I had try to copy the /usr/share/grub/i386-pc/stage1 stage2 to overwrite the them, > but the result is the same error!

You must not move files around or try to "fix" anything that isn't broken. This only puts your installation into a state that is not reproducible elsewhere. In your case, if you want to install GRUB into Master Boot Record (MBR), running "grub-install /dev/hdb" would be correct, provided that your grub.conf is correct. By changing the subject line of your mails _and_ using a mailer that doesn't maintain the headers needed for threaded display, it is difficult to keep track of your previous mails. > Now that I had to use a floppy to boot my pc(Thanks god ,I had made one after setup)! > the command I use to boot linux is > root(hd0,5) > kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 root=/dev/hdb5 I don't believe this, because root(hd0,5) would specify your boot partition to be /dev/hd6, which is a swap partition according to your partition table. Correct for your setup would be root(hd0,4). - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+dahi0iMVcrivHFQRAknzAJ0Y2U6bzNfDkG2BjJe2che0xz6qfgCeJ0FT 53hEcQOrNvLLi40Wmwa5/NE= =rotf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
