I'm new to GRUB and I'm using it to boot Linux (LRP) off a FAT16 partition (100MB in size, located in the first cylinders of the disk). I install GRUB succesfully using the floppy method (root (hd0,0) and setup (hd0) with /dev/hda1 being the FAT16 partition). On bootup everything goes well until the system tries to load the initrd image to ramdisk, at which point I get a kernel panic proceeded by some DOS jibberish. The odd thing is that the first time I tried it worked, but later on when I repartitioned my drive and started all over I get this problem even though I used the same partition scheme. One thing to note is that when I try the install GRUB from floppy, it fails to find (the optional?) fat_stage1_5 even though it's located in /boot/grub/ on the FAT partition, because the file name is cut-off after the eigth character (is there a way around this BTW?). Any help/info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. --
