Hi, I have a old PC that was working fine with lilo before I reinstall my linux from scratch (with a Debian Woody 3.0 r0). I installed grub with dselect.
First, I try to boot with a grub disk (that I build with stage one and two following the instruction in the info pages). I can boot my window partition fine, I can also find file on it, but when I type root (hd0,1) I got a error 17. (which I think is normal, I stage 1.5 is not present and it's a ext2fs partition). I boot in linux with the debian rescue disk, copy the required file in /boot/gnut/ (I attach the listing of the directory in ll.txt), I wrote a little menu.lst (also atteched) and I run grub. I issue the following command : root (hd0,1) setup (hd0) when I reboot, I see Grub Loading stage 1.5 Grub Loading, please wait... Error 17. The system then hang. I wonder if the system isn't trying to read the stage 1.5 for ext2fs on a ext2fs filesystem. In that case, is there a way to make the stage 1.5 available before it try to acces it. Is there anything I can do to check that? Thanks for your help -- Guillaume Cot� [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.tzone.org/~gcote
