Hi,
I am not being able to boot into FreeBSD 5.1 with GRUB. I have an 80 GB
Seagate Barracuda HDD with Debian (sid), Red Hat 8.0 and 9 installed. Grub's
installed in the MBR and my /boot (where GRUB is located) is /dev/hda5
(within 8.3 GB though I have an Asus A7VE motherboard with a comparatively
new BIOS). I boot around 8 different linux kernels with grub and they all
load fine.
Even kernels beyond 60 GB are loaded without any problem from ext3 partitions.
(my debian /boot is beyond 60GB). Now I have a FreeBSD slice (hda3) beyond 72
GB. The problem is that my kernel doesn't boot from it. I have tried all
possibilities but have reached no solution as yet. From the GRUB command-line
during boot, when I do root (hd0,14), grub says partition is unknown type but
gives the correct hex value. Seems it is not being able to recognize the UFS
partition. After that the boot command fails. Interestingly the same version
of GRUB boots my FreeBSD installation from a 40 GB Seagate HDD connected as
primary slave. It boots without any problems. Here the same version of grub
shows the correct partition type. I am wondering whether grub fails to
recognize UFS partitions beyond 60-70 GB.
Is this a known issue with grub? Does anyone have any solutions?
Regards,
Bhaskar.
