Hi Just tried rh 7.3 and grub for the first time.....not a good experience
The machine wont boot except via a floppy. I got, GRUB and it hangs. so i boot via the floppy, then, If I go into a grub > shell I can do, root (hd0,0) and i get Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0xfd so i dont want to boot off the floppy, no idea why it set itself up like this, i want to boot off the raid'd hd (hda and hdc) where can this be corrected? I try, grub> find /boot/grub/stage1 and its seeking the floppy so it bombs, 1/0 error, dev 02:00 (floppy), sector 0 Error 15 File not found how do i get it to point to the hd? either hda or md0? I cannot fathom why its picked fd0, what i need is a hard drive boot. I cannot find any clear explanation in the howto on how to do this properly, so ive tried, find /vmlinuz which tells me, (hd0,0) (hd0,1) (hd1,0) (my 2 raid1 devices I suspect are 0,0 and 1,0; 0,1 is me trying to set up a single /boot partition if all else fails) so i did a, grub> kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/md0 which gives me, [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1400, size=0xfa203] so i do a, grub> boot the disks rattle this doesnt make fantastic sense but then...... now on boot i get, GRUB Loading stage1.5. Grub loading, please wait..... Error 2 and it hangs...... so where next? 1) please can you update the howto with some explanation on how to install grub? ie clarify my points? how to pick devices to boot, ive no idea why RH 7.3 picked the floppy...... 2) Assist on what i do next.....I cant find anything in the howto or FAQs that cover this. is there a general mailing list for such issues where this email might be more appropriate? regards Steven _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
