Hello, I don't believe this is a bug - possibly a mis-configuration on my part. Feel free to point me to another list.
I'm having a problem getting grub to load from my HD (see #3 below). I believe that my grub.conf file is OK (see #2 below). In a sense my problem is academic since I have to reboot to change OS's - and it's no problem to leave my grub boot floppy in the drive - BUT it bothers me that I can't get this to work. Grub works fine on another box with three different flavors of linux I have win2k and RH7.2 installed. After the RH install (which installed grub) I have not been able to boot using grub. I've included both the output from "fdisk -l" and the grub.conf file NOTE: I have /boot mounted as a separate partition - /dev/hda6 or (hd0,5) (1) I can boot either win2k or linux from the grub commandline - I get there via a grub floppy to which I've dd'd stage1 and stage2, as described in the info docs (2) I get the grub menu, from which I can boot either OS, by booting from another grub floppy to which I have cp'd stage1, stage2, and grub.conf (3) All attempts to install grub on my HD have failed - I've tried all (I believe) of the suggestions in the FAQ and info docs. Depending on which method I use the boot hangs with either "GRUB Loading stage2 ..." or "GRUB Loading stage1_5 ..." - the number of dots in the message varies (4) One unusual piece of weirdness is that if I mv e2fs_stage1_5 to e2fs_stage1_5.bak "setup (hd0)" still finds even though it's not there. However, "find e2fs_stage1_5" fails, as it should Thanks, Warren ---------[ fdisk -l output ]---------- # fdisk -l Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1826 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 701 5630751 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda2 702 1825 9028530 f Win95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hda5 702 962 2096451 b Win95 FAT32 /dev/hda6 963 968 48163+ 83 Linux /dev/hda7 969 1760 6361708+ 83 Linux /dev/hda8 1761 1825 522081 82 Linux swap --------[ /boot/grub/grub.conf ]------------- # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition.
