I've checked if savedefault works from command line of /sbin/grub on different machine (@home) and it doesn't, but it works in config file. Indeed, savedefault is a grub.conf entry; the /sbin/grub shell command you could be looking for is grub-set-default. -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] grub,sata,savedefault and error 27
Hi group I tryed to make config file for grub to migrate from centos to gentoo, and even once it booted with saved I think. Some how it booted fith entry in config file... centos doesn't have grub-set-default so I ran grub, loaded configfile and gave command savedefault 4... I don't remember what else I have done but grub booted gentoo :D after I added: default saved fallback 0 and to new, the only 'title' title gentoo root (hd0,0) kernel /bzImage root=/dev/sdb2 savedefault fallback and it doesn't boot. I haven't got remote console so technicans had to do something. They booted kernel from grub prompt. Then I ran grub from bash configfile (hd0,0)/grub/grub.conf and I tryed to boot my kernel. GRUB showed savedefault fallback Error 27: Unrecognized command ...or something like that :) Is it related to SATA or is it a bug in GRUB? Now after deleting all entrys related to save it does not boot either. SATA chipset is ICH7 what can I do? Will LILO handle SATA disk? Offcourse (hd0,0) is /dev/sda1 and /boot. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Then I ran grub from bash configfile (hd0,0)/grub/grub.conf and I tryed to boot my kernel. GRUB showed savedefault fallback Error 27: Unrecognized command ...or something like that :) I don't understand...are you saying that after the system booted, you logged in, ran the grub program, and tried to boot your system?? If so, that won't work, because there is a difference between the configuration/setup program grub, and the bootloader that it installs. The booloader that it installs understands the menu.lst/grub.conf commands, the program does not. I'm using this /sbin/grub program as a tester of my config file... and it does not recognize savedefault command but auto complete this command. /sbin/grub does not boot anything but exits (I would have much more problems if it could load another kernel and reboot). Is it related to SATA or is it a bug in GRUB? Now after deleting all entrys related to save it does not boot either. Not related to SATA. All bootloaders work through the BIOS interfaces, so any drives that the BIOS can see can be accessed by the bootloader. Will LILO handle SATA disk? Yes. See previous answer. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list I've found that not having symbolic link on /boot named boot and pointing to . (dot) can cause not reading of my config file by grub - that's my mistake, centos does not have it and it boots. But I still don't know if the behaviour of /sbin/grub with savedefault is normal. It worked with 0.95 GRUB on centos (or GRUB ignored this command). -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
