Yes it does - I think I know where the problem is. I already had problems
when I hosed my partition table by creating new partitions with Linux's
fdisk because the geometry is incorrect (or rather different than the
one used when creating the very first partition).
I noticed that grub 0.5.94 has a 'geometry' command and I will try to
play with it. I hope I will get it working.
I think all of this is my fault because I didn't turn off the BIOS on my
SCSI controller (I needed it a year ago when I still used DOS).
I noticed another thing though : grub emulator from version 0.5.92 works
fine for me at home - however the one in 0.5.94 prints first and second
partition entries and then dies with 'Disk read error' message. Does
anyone know what's wrong ?
Thanks in advance.
