no there is an lba option to give grub.
from grub-install manpage:
--force-lbaforce GRUB to use LBA mode even for a buggy BIOS
from grub info docs:
*Caution2:* A number of BIOSes don't return a correct LBA support
bitmap even if they do have the support. So GRUB provides a
solution to
Looks like LBA is turned on automatically, there's no choice to turn it
off. and it had a property for max. lba size or something, so i take
it, it's understanding the LBA thing.
OTOH, I also noticed that there is a setting for Multi-Sector Transfers,
and its choices are: Disable, 2, 4, 8, 16,
I am booting to the Gentoo 1.4 CD, then chroot
please keep in mind alot of this stuff is somewhat over my head so if i
dont make sense, ask again and i'll do my best to clarify
I am not running grub-install but I can only assume that emerge the
gentoo package tool IS.
I have had several
Well, emerge might not be actually setting your computer up to use
the newly compiled GRUB as your bootloader. (Possibly, I'm not a
gentoo user.) Try running
# /usr/local/sbin/grub-install /dev/hda
or
# /usr/sbin/grub-install /dev/hda
(depending on where the script gets installed to.)
another piece of info, this may shed some light on the situation:
I just installed LILO, and set it up and boot it.
This is what I get now, when i boot:
L 02 02 02 02 02 02 02 02 02 etc.
There is alot more google content regarding this error than the GRUB
GRUB GRUB error. Unfortunately
I am on .90
I have spent countless hours trying to fix this, i have stumped 100's of
people on the #gentoo
Any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated!!
thanks
PS i have removed all drives except the IDE and still doesnt work,, i
have recompiled grub with no CFLAGS except -pipe.. NOTHING
Thanks
Hi,
I have just installed Gentoo and Grub.
When I reboot I don't get the Stage 1.5 message. Instead all I get is
GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB
GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB

What version of Grub did you install? I've had similar problems with
the 0.92 release, but using 0.91 or even 0.90 seemed to clear it up.
