Re: Installing Debian (Sarge, 64 bit) on AM2 platform fails

Cannot install a bootloader
Hi All, I've trouble installing the bootloader (both grub and lilo fail). I'm using the netinstall cd-image to install. My first idea was a problem with my RAID controller (Adaptec 2020ZCR, running a 4 disc raid 5 array) but it even fails to install a bootloader to a floppy disc. So I think it's a general problem, instead of a hardware problem. It always returns the same error message: The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly. The thing I found out is that the new / filesystem is still mounted under /target, but I guess this is normal while installing...? (never bothered to look, since it always works out fine). Any suggestions welcome! Kind regards, Dirk

Re: Cannot install a bootloader
Hi All, I've trouble installing the bootloader (both grub and lilo fail). I'm using the netinstall cd-image to install.

Creating a symlink helps it though. ln -s . /target/boot/boot Newer versions of grub are a bit smarter in my experience. Len Sorensen Thank you all for your replies. Finally, I've created a grub boot floppy, chose to not install a bootloader, booted into the new system and installed configured grub in the new system. No problem at all. Maybe I've should have tried this a bit sooner, but I'm s spoiled with the almost-always-smooth debian installer... :) Thanks! Dirk

I have used ext3 but became disenchanted when I found it liked to do an old ext2 fsck on boot every so often according to some magic number. I tried both xfs and jfs without much joy. At the time (perhaps two years ago now) grub would not boot with xfs as the boot partition file format. I learned that I could use reiserfs as the boot partition file format if I made the partition sufficiently large, which is not a problem with today's hard drives. I can't remember why jfs gave little joy. These days I use reiserfs with much joy. I don't understand the problem that others are having with it.
