Hi
Did you install grub from your hard disk on to the Compact Flash ?.
If so was your Compact Flash still the first hd that BIOS found ?. (hd0)
What about while booting from the Compact flash. Is that the only
Hard disk you have on the system ?. Bios sometimes tend to look at
things differently than you intended.

Subject: Problem: GRUB Loading stage1.5Read Error

Hi,
After installing GRUB (0.91) on a system with only a CompactFlash card,
that behaves as /dev/hda *and* works fine with LILO, the boot process
stops with the following message:
GRUB Loading stage1.5Read Error
What can be the reason(s) for this? Does it mean it can't load
stage2? The way I installed grub:
grub> root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
grub> setup --force-lba (hd0)
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... no
Checking if "/grub/stage1" exists... yes
Checking if "/grub/stage2" exists... yes
Checking if "/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes
Running "embed /grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"... 22 sectors are embedded.
succeeded
Running "install --force-lba /grub/stage1 d (hd0) (hd0)1+22 p
(hd0,0)/grub/stage2 /grub/grub.conf"... succeeded
Done.
I tried with and without --force-lba, with no success. I also tried
several explicit geometries (using "geometry (hd) c h s" before setup,
is this correct), with no effect. The BIOS is known to disable LBA
when the CF drive is below 1024 cyls (which is the case).
Exactly the same setup, with a real disk on a "normal PC" with the
same partitioning scheme, works ok.
Furthermore, a standard LILO setup (using the linear option) works
fine too on the CF system!
Any clues?
Thanks,
