I have a RedHat 7.2 system with a 40G IDE disk. Using the grub "hide" command destroyed my partition table. Here's the approximate disk layout:
Four primary partitions, no extended. hda1=ext2, 4G hda2=ext2, 4G hda3=Linux swap, 1G hda4=fat32, 31G I tried "hide (hd0,3)". The command was accepted, but hda4 was not hidden. I tried hiding one of the ext2 partitions. I think it was hda1, which contains the /boot/grub data directory, with "hide (hd0,1)" Now entering "geometry (hd0)" shows nothing. No unhide commands will work. Possible non-standard" things are the use of all four primary partitons, no extended ones, and having a large LBA partition. Also, can "hiding" the ext2 directory with /boot/grub mess things up? Grub still loads at boot time, but the menus, etc., are all gone. Do you have any ideas of whatcould have happened? I can try to repeat it and get a copy of the before and after if this looks like a bug that isn't already fixed.
