Hello !
My first message concerning this was bounced ( sent as acc ) so i try once
more.
Originally, it was a cc from a Mail to Alex Stewart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
and Patrick D. Ashmore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, the developers
of 'lphdisk'.
--------------------------------------------------
I didn't know that: Grub stage 1.5 is stored on the HD, _after_ the mbr !
I don't understand that.
But anyway, it's an explanation why grub was damaged, here on a dell inspiron
5000 after bios-hibernating. The hibernation partition, created with cfdisk +
lphdisk, was the very first one, a primary.
After i inserted a 'spacer' of 7 MB ( which was the lower limit for cfdisk,
at least for MB count ) it worked without problems.
Luck boy i was, this done completely intuitivley - i didn't had any clue at
all.
However, I'm not sure if that's the whole answer.
Who was it, grub, or the BIOS, requesting me to insert the 'correct
originally HD' when i booted the damaged one ?
And about Grub, why is there "free space" after the mbr ? At least in this
case, it seems, there wasn't !
And why don't other bootloaders use it also, then ? ( Perhaps for that reason
?)
Perhaps it's in the texinfo. Anyway it's not easy to read (at least, in dwww
the footnotes aren't linked; and things somehow are too widely spread...).
I have to admit, i like grub very much, though.
It's simply great :)
micha.
