hello everybody,
i tried to install the grub bootmanager to a testmachine in our
environment and the following is my problem:
- PIII Fujitsu Siemens
- only ext2 filesystems on yhe whole disk.
- I installed the tar file " grub-0.90.tar.gz " with tar xvf
grub-0.90.tar after i gunzipped it.
- i have the /boot/grub directotry with the 4 files device.map,
e2fs_stage1_5, stage1, stage2
- i created a bootdisk which brought me directly on that "grub-shell"
- my lilo.conf file has the following entries:
boot = /dev/hda
map= /boot/map
install=/boot/boot.p
message=/boot/message
linear
default=linux
image=/boot/vmlinuz2-2.4.2-2
label=linux
read-only
root=/dev/hda5
- after i rebooted the machine with the grub on it i tried
grub> kernel /boot/vmlinuz2-2.4.2-2 root=/dev/hda5
which gave me the knowm error 17
"Cannot mount selected partition"
in the grub-info-3 i read that this is a known bug. when will it be
fixed, because i read an article which says grub is possible booting
ext2 fs systems
