Provided you're getting to at least Grub Rescue then it's probably just a case of typing the right magic. Tell us what you see when you type ls. If it's a bios error like 'no boot device found' then chances are you're going to need to use a rescue disk to reinstall grub.> A rescue disk might be a good idea anyway to inspect what is in the disk. Trying to fix a boot is hard if you don't know exactly which partition holds what.

Different distributions do things differently. How did you install each operating system? Is each one using BIOS / legacy MBR? Is each one using UEFI? Do you have any shared directory - like a shared /home - between all the OS? Please tell us *exactly* what you have done as far as you can. Do you have any logs of the install available to you?

RE: BIOS Problem
First: I don't know if it was the same for others, but your email came as an attachment. I have not had that before on this list so I think it may be your mail. Please correct me if I am wrong. From: Thomas H. George [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 17, 2008 12:02 PM Subject: OT: BIOS Problem Very slow bootup while grub tries repeatedly to get responses from a dead ide slave drive. If the ide slave drive is disconnected bios apparently spends a long time searching for ide drives and grub loads very slowly but, once loaded, boots the system quickly. I have had similar issues. In one case, I was able to simply disable the IDE connection within the BIOS. That BIOS had quite a few non-standard features, and being able to disable certain devices, like the IDE, was a bonus and not likely to be standard. I do not know your motherboard. I also one tried to migrate a Debian install off of a IDE drive and onto a SATA drive (all partitions including grub) and I found it to be really slow. I tried updating grub and a few tricks I found on this group, but I was never able to get it to boot right. The grub prompt came up pretty quick but it took about ~5 minutes to properly load the Linux kernel and start booting. Since everything I had was backed up, I just wiped the system and started over. Worked fine after that. The best we could figure was I had missed some link or pointer and it wasn't happy that it had left IDE. Hope this helps!

When I tried to install or copy some deb-files from the FAT partition (mounted) into debian partitions, the whole thing crashes at once. The power goes off of the box. It must have something to do with the Award PnP Bios (v0.1A)? I suspect it's apm related. Try re-compiling your kernel with all the apm stuff disabled and also double check the apm settings in your bios. I guess you could see if there is a bios update available too but that should be last. -- Ray

Unlikely a BIOS problem. Have you installed LILO in the MBR? Try re-installing LILO with the addition of the linear directive. Yes, and this will probably be the answer. I'd sure try it first. I think the BIOS *might* come into play here, though, because if the 3rd disk is not set up in some BIOS'es, the BIOS might not be able to boot from it. It's something that doesn't come into play when booting off floppy, because Linux does not care what's in the BIOS settings when it only needs to mount the disk. The other thing would be making sure the jumper settings are proper, in the case of IDE drives. (Is the 3rd drive a master, single, or slave on its controller?) Again, this would probably not come into play on a floppy boot. At least one of these two things has bitten me before.
RE: Bios Problem
I assume you installed linux to boot from the HD. If so, it looks as if you Box can only boot up HD1. It looking for Linux there. You need to get a boot disk and fix your MBR. -Original Message- From: Simone Rapizzi [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 09, 1999 12:40 PM To: Debian Mailing List Subject: Bios Problem Hi, I've just installed Linux, but I can't use LILO: When I reboot I see: L 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 and so on.
