[ Please CC replies to me - thanks! ] Hi, I have a flash disk that Linux can use as IDE via an adapter, and sees as /dev/hdc. I am having trouble installing grub on it.
I can boot just fine if grub comes up from the regular HD MBR and then I do root (hd1,0) setup (hd1) and kernel /boot/vmlinux I can't seem to install grub properly so that the system will boot completely from the flash device. Grub comes up ok, but then the system keeps saying that it can't find /boot/vmlinux, which is certainly there. If I enter into grub from /dev/hda then everything works normally... root (hd1,0), setup (hd1) kernel, boot and so forth. Same with the floppy. The grub shell seems to go ok: grub> setup (hd1) Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes Checking if "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd1)"... 16 sectors are embedded. succeeded Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd1) (hd1)1+16 p (hd1,0)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/menu.lst"... succeeded Done. but the problem is when it actually comes up, no more /boot/grub/stage1... doing find /boot/grub/stage1 finds it on hd0,0. Oddly enough, doing find /grub/stage1 turns up a file on hd1,0. So I'm pretty much at a loss at this point. Thanks for your time, -- David N.
