calling grub with a disk option is not the right way, i hope it was a typo. In grub, every disk is a HD, therefore is your disk a hd0. The correct command sequence for sda5 (hd0,4) is: # sh> grub # grub> root (hd0,4) # grub> setup (hd0,4) # grub> quit ... # sh> reboot # and enjoy Heinrich -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
