Years of Debian esperience, new to SL, 3rd attempt at installing 5.4. I specify that grub should be installed in the root partition, in my case
/dev/hda4. I use GAG as pure boot selector, each OS has its own bootload er on-partition. Due to history, /dev/hda4 is the second primary, right after hda1 on the disk. I decline to rearrange partition order, and also decline to add other OS' s to the SL grub boot menu as proffered by installer. On 1st boot I consistently find no bootloader on /dev/hda4. Other OS's b oot fine. Booted rescue twice, chrooted to root partition, I see the fileysytem whe re it should be - i.e. the system seemingly doesn't get confused by partitio ns not being in order. Attempted this: grub-install /dev/hda4 I repeatedly get this message: error reading stage 1 I failed to find references to this on the list. Is this a known problem? Did I miss something in the archives? TIA!
