Re: UPDATE: Always falling to grub prompt (now I don't even have prompt)

I've tried several things: boot from Debian Live CD/Etch Disk 1/Gparted Live CD, then change the order of entries in /etc/fstab, changing the pass-number parameter in /etc/fstab (hdd1 and hdd2 had pass number 1, and I changed it to be 2 and 1, respectively, have run update-initramfs again, but nothing. I understand that, now that partitions are in order, /dev/hdd2, which is the root filesystem according to fstab, will be (hd1,1) for grub, and that kernels should be found in (hd1,1)/boot/, thus the "kernel" line in menu.lst should be /boot/vmlinuz, if root="(hd1,1)". Right? I think the 'root' command should specify the partition where the boot directory is located, so it should be (hd1,0) rather than (hd1,1). Furthermore, the kernels are not located on the hdd2-partition, so they are not in (hd1,1)/boot/, but they are in (hd1,0)/ So you could try to change your entries in menu.lst to: root (hd1,0) kernel (hd1,0)/vmlinuz- root=/dev/hdd2 ro initrd (hd1,0)/initrd.img- or, omitting the device-specification in the 'kernel' and 'initrd' command (since the device is equal to the root device): root (hd1,0) kernel /vmlinuz- root=/dev/hdd2 ro initrd /initrd.img- -- Regards, Hans. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Update-grub not listing latest kernel first
John Talbut wrote: I have just done another kernel recompile and when I ran update-grub it listed the previous version of the kernel first (thereby making it the default kernel to boot). I give my kernels a version according to the date on which I compiled them, i.e.: vmlinuz-2.6.21-11sep7 vmlinuz-2.6.21-18jul7 The second of these was listed first. Is this because update-grub puts the kernels in descending order of version numbers, hence 18 comes higher up than 11, rather than, as I expected, by the date and time when the file was modified. Can someone give me a definitive answer, please? The definitive answer can be found in /usr/sbin/update-grub : the function CompareVersions is used for sorting the list of kernels. This function considers the version numbers, not the file dates. You may consider using a different naming scheme in the future, like vmlinuz-2.6.21-20070911 vmlinuz-2.6.21-20070718 so that the alphabetic ordering of the version numbers matches the temporal ordering. -- Regards, Hans. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: grub ignoring root=/dev/hda3 kernel option - where should I report the bug?
Julian Gilbey wrote: Brief summary: I have Debian testing installed on /dev/hda2, which is my default startup option I have Debian unstable installed on /dev/hda3 I have Windows installed on /dev/hda1 I am using grub, installed on the MBR of /dev/hda (and I installed it from the testing version of grub using "grub-install hd0"). I had an older version of grub installed, and this setup worked fine. I just upgraded my grub from the version in testing (0.97-5), while booted into my testing partition. But now when I try to boot, the following happens: (a) If I try to boot into Debian testing or Windows, all works well. (b) If I try to boot into Debian unstable (which is on /dev/hda3), it reads the kernel from /dev/hda3 but then uses /dev/hda2 as the root partition, completely ignoring the root=/dev/hda3 on the kernel command line. (I know that it uses the right kernel, because the kernel versions on my two partitions are not the same as each other.) Any suggestions what might be wrong? I suggest you check /etc/fstab on the hda3 partition. Perhaps it lists /dev/hda2 as root partition? Regards, Hans. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Thanks for the suggestion though. Well, grub does have a 'cat' command (see 'info grub'), but apparently it is only valid on the command line and in menu entries, NOT in the global section of the menu.

Instead of mounting with "-t auto" you might want to mount with "-t
udf", in which case you can supply udf-specific options ("novrs" might
do the trick...)
