Re: grub and devfs
Hi, Christian! I've just installed a Linux from Scratch with device filesystem. Of course I use grub as my prferred bootloader. ;) But I had some trouble writing it to the mbr: You forgot the version of GRUB. Not all versions are equal! root@kronos-zwei:~# grub-install /dev/discs/disc0/disc /dev/discs/disc0/disc does not have any corresponding BIOS drive. Try removing /boot/grub/device.map or add --recheck to the command line. Your /boot/grub/device.map was created before you installed devfs and it has old names in it. It can be fixed, but the fix is not simple, since every entry in /boot/grub/device.map would have to be resolved. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin ___ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
Re: grub and devfs
Try giving the device the GRUB way, i.e. grub-install '(hd0)' Worked for me. Cheers, Alex On Thursday 23 May 2002 17:01, Christian Hesse wrote: Hello!

As disc0/ is a symlink to ../ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/ I tried to write grub to /dev/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc and I worked without problems. Why can't grub handle symlinks or is there another mistake I made? Or is it a feature anyway?

I'm using grub 0.92 with linux 2.4.18. / ist ext3, /boot is still ext2. root@kronos-zwei:~# grub-install /dev/discs/disc0/disc /dev/discs/disc0/disc does not have any corresponding BIOS drive. Try removing /boot/grub/device.map or add --recheck to the command line. Your /boot/grub/device.map was created before you installed devfs and it has old names in it. This version of Linux has been installed with devfs, so there can't be any old names. The problem is not that I can't install it but that grub does not understand using symlinks correctly. -- Regards, Christian Hesse ___ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
