I stand corrected. I remember you now stating that, sorry if I added to further confusion here, but the correction does not change anything other than to definitively prove your/our point that Drive B is not an issue in regards to GRUB. It is a side effect of it's removal from the IDE Bus that is behind your mystery and nothing else. I think the Grub Developers might be interested in discussing this with you. Their code should not be having an issue here irregardless of your hardware changes. They probably have not come across whatever the ROM BIOS is presumably doing here before to mess things up. Maybe a new grub tool for floppy is in order here -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
