Hello !
I have some problems with the grub. It can't boot a system located
on a scsi drive and seems to have bad access to the bios scsi card.
Arch : Intel p200
1 IDE disk : 3 partitions, the second is a slack 3.6
3 SCSI disk : on first (sda) : 3 p., second is DIY linux
Bios boots by order A, C and SCSI (i forgot bios version)
SCSI is an old 2940 (no more than scsi2, bios v1.23)
OS : the grub is installed on the 2 systems, the kernels to boot :
slack 3.6 : (hd0,1)
/boot/kernel.prod
/boot/kernel.old
DIY : (hd1,1)
/boot/kernel.prod
/boot/kernel.old
/boot/kernel.prout (for tests)
the /boot/grub/menu.lst is different on the 2 systems
Context : everything below done from the grub bootdisk AND from
grub on (hd0) (ide disk). So, the several command I test (not all ;) :
* root (hd0,1)
find /boot/kernel.prod
-> (hd0,1)
* root (hd1,1)
find /boot/kernel.prod
-> (hd0,1)
* find (hd1,1)/boot/kernel.prod
find (hd0,1)/boot/kernel.prod
-> both return (hd0,1) (!!)
* find (hd1,1)/boot/kernel.prout
-> (hd0,1) (the file doesn't exist on hd0,1)
* root (hd1,1)
kernel (hd1,1)/boot/kernel.prod root=/dev/sda2
boot
-> kernel seems to boot, bug hang after "Freeing unused kernel
memory: XXk freed", just before init (the kernel don't find it ?)
* same error when trying (hd1,1)/boot/kernel.prout
* cat (hd1,1)/boot/grub/menu.lst
cat (hd0,1)/boot/grub.menu.lst
-> cat the good file
* ioprobe (hd0)
-> lot's of hex numbers
* ioprobe (hd1)
-> hang (need to reboot)
Is it a problem or a misconfiguration ?
