Not all BIOS support the HD image. So try to build a 2.88 boot floppy image, and let the kernel access the CD. BTW, I think you need the "old" version of mkbimage, the new has been tested I think by Robert against 0.93 (I have only tested against 0.92 and the new mkbimage in GRUB CVS is only for the future maintenance of the script; keep in sync 0.92+patches+"old" mkbimage). -- Thierry Laronde (Alceste) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Key fingerprint = 0FF7 E906 FBAF FE95 FD89 250D 52B1 AE95 6006 F40C _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
