Hi I've a problem with grub on my computer. Please let me know, if I should ask somewhere else or if this is the right place. Thanks. I've just installed (LFS) Linux on a new Mac Mini (Intel) but the computer doesn't start (no OSX, only one partition for Linux). All I see is: GRUB Loading stage1.5. GRUB loading, please wait... There is no error message, nothing. I'm a little bit puzzled, as this is not the first Linux system I install, but the first time I don't know what to do. I use grub-0.97 (with two patches, see the LFS page: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/development/chapter06/grub.html) The partition to boot from is /dev/sda1 and in my grub menu is default 0 timeout 10 title LFS root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/lfskernel root=/dev/sda1 The file does exist and I installed grub in the grub shell with "root (hd0,0)" and "setup (hd0)". Just to make sure, I installed ubuntu (7.04) on the very same computer (they use grub too) and the system starts, without problem. So the Mac Mini does start some Linux with grub, it's just my installation. I have a MacBook running with LFS and grub, there isn't a problem either. So, why is grub hanging there (I rebooted after 10 minutes)? What might I do to solve the problem? What is grub waiting for? Thanks for any help, Andreas _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list Bug-grub@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
