weird thought ---- > switching her disk geometry scheme to LBA and re-installing GRUB should >
I did not see her? original psoting so I dont know exactly what her two drive setup was. But I thought most systems were running LBA mode by default now adays. Perhaps the setup had two different configurations on the hard drives LBA on one, something else on the other SAY LBA on Drive B, and XYZ on Drive A and the result is that the BIOS gets confused pulling out drive B now and sets drive A to be LBA mode instead of XYZ mode making it impossible for MBR to locate the /boot partition on drive a because the disk geometry definition in the rom bios table just chnaged from what the real drive is set up as. You can always load the MBR because it is always logical block 0 CTS 0-0-0 on the drive. any case, just another whacky theory to consider. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
