Okuji <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 2002-Jun-12 11:45 (GMT) ------------------ Additional Follow-up Comments ---------------------------- Could you show me results when executing these: 1) Run "geometry (hd1)" when booting GRUB from a floppy. 2) Run "geometry (hd1)" when booting GRUB from NTLDR. 3) Run "blocklist (hd1,4)/bzImage" when booting GRUB from a floppy. 4) Run "debug" and "kernel (hd1,4)/bzImage" when booting GRUB from NTLDR. Thanks, Okuji =================== BUG #565: FULL BUG SNAPSHOT =================== Submitted by: chrispe Project: grub Submitted on: 2002-Jun-08 16:41 Category: Booting Severity: Major Priority: None Bug Group: Software Error Resolution: None Assigned to: None Status: Open Release: 0.90 Reproducibility: Every Time Planned Release: Summary: kernel command returns error 18 when grub loads from ntldr. Original Submission: I'm trying to load Linux from the Win2k bootloader (NTLDR), via Grub. I installed grub stage1 onto a floppy using the following commands: grub> root (hd1,4) grub> setup (fd0) grub> quit setup found my grub files, failed to embbed stage 1.5 and used the following install command: install /boot/grub/stage1 d (fd0) /boot/grub/stage2 p /boot/grub/menu.lst This boot floppy successfully boots, runs stage2, pops up the graphical menu, with a splash screen and boots Linux from (hd1,4)/bzImage. Next, I copied this working grub stage 1 from the floppy to my Windows C drive (using dd) and set up C:\boot.ini to run it from NTLDR. Grub runs okay from NTLDR and successfully loads stage2, pops up the graphical menu, with a splash screen, but fails to boot Linux from (hd1,4)/bzImage with error 18. This seems strange. How come it can't load bzImage, when it can load the menu & splash screen just fine from the same partition? I used the testload command on (hd1,4)/bzImage and it worked fine (the numbers at the end matched). However, when I execute the kernel command, I get error 18... grub> kernel (hd1,4)/bzImage root=/dev/hdb7 Error 18: Selected cylinder exceeds max supported by BIOS I can't find any differences between booting from the floppy MBR & from NTLDR. The geometry command returns the same numbers, testload returns the same numbers. It is just that the kernel command fails in the NTLDR case. Chris.
