Hi, After installing GRUB (0.91) on a system with only a CompactFlash card, that behaves as /dev/hda *and* works fine with LILO, the boot process stops with the following message:
GRUB Loading stage1.5Read Error What can be the reason(s) for this? Does it mean it can't load stage2? The way I installed grub: grub> root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 grub> setup --force-lba (hd0) Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... no Checking if "/grub/stage1" exists... yes Checking if "/grub/stage2" exists... yes Checking if "/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes Running "embed /grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"... 22 sectors are embedded. succeeded Running "install --force-lba /grub/stage1 d (hd0) (hd0)1+22 p (hd0,0)/grub/stage2 /grub/grub.conf"... succeeded Done. I tried with and without --force-lba, with no success. I also tried several explicit geometries (using "geometry (hd) c h s" before setup, is this correct), with no effect. The BIOS is known to disable LBA when the CF drive is below 1024 cyls (which is the case). Exactly the same setup, with a real disk on a "normal PC" with the same partitioning scheme, works ok. Furthermore, a standard LILO setup (using the linear option) works fine too on the CF system! Any clues?
