/**************************************************************************/ [bugs #10433] Full Item Snapshot: URL: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=10433> Project: GNU GRUB Submitted by: Brendan Sleight On: Sat 09/18/04 at 17:19 Category: Booting Severity: Major Priority: 5 - Normal Item Group: Non-software Error Resolution: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Originator Name: Brendan Sleight Originator Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Status: Open Release: 0.95 Reproducibility: None Planned Release: Summary: Grub 0.95 - Grub Bootable CD-ROM, no device (cd). Related to Error 21 at stage 1.5 Original Submission: Grub 0.95 - Grub Bootable CD-ROM, no device (cd). I am using an IPC - Webnote. (IPC Archtec 503-060) http://www.tickpc.co.uk/products.asp?sid=932333980&viewItem=1113 _Background_ I am a (minor) developer with Morphix.org - a GNU/Linux LiveCD ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livecd ) We have moved away from using Grub with floppy disk emulation. To booting w/o emulation, using iso9660_stage1_5 (So that we have space for kernel, long menu lists and graphics). When using this option, I get Error 21 (disk does not exist) during stage 1.5 There are no other BIOS upgrades (google suggestion) available for my machine, currently on highest version. Other Laptop have reported the same problem:- acer TravelMate 290 Packard Bell Easynote E3269 (+ Another User - Packard Bell) Toshiba Tecra S1 1.6ghz (http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=10027) (http://www.morphix.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=1514&forum=2&jump=1) _Tests_ A have also tried making a new iso without the -boot-load-size 4 This has no effect on the error. I have also created a cd-rom using grub 0.95 exactly as per the instruction in the documentation. Without any menu or option files. http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Making%20a%20GRUB%20bootable%20CD-ROM (no emulation mode in the El Torito specification) So that I can just boot to grub command line. The devices fd0 and hd0 do exisit but device (cd) does not exist. For example I do: cat (<<TAB>> I only get option of hd0. I am unable to access the other files on the iso. A bug report that is mentions Error 21 (HD not CD-ROM), suggest down grading to 0.93. http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=6846 I have tried this, but I get a compile error :- gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I../stage1 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wunused -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -malign-jumps=1 -malign-loops=1 -malign-functions=1 -Wundef -O2 -I../lib -DGRUB_UTIL=1 -DFSYS_EXT2FS=1 -DFSYS_FAT=1 -DFSYS_FFS=1 -DFSYS_JFS=1 -DFSYS_MINIX=1 -DFSYS_REISERFS=1 -DFSYS_VSTAFS=1 -DFSYS_XFS=1 -DUSE_MD5_PASSWORDS=1 -DSUPPORT_SERIAL=1 -DSUPPORT_HERCULES=1 -fwritable-strings -g -c -o libgrub_a-fsys_reiserfs.o `test -f fsys_reiserfs.c || echo './'`fsys_reiserfs.ccc1: warning: -malign-loops is obsolete, use -falign-loops cc1: warning: -malign-jumps is obsolete, use -falign-jumps cc1: warning: -malign-functions is obsolete, use -falign-functions fsys_reiserfs.c:115: error: long, short, signed or unsigned used invalidly for `j_mount_id' fsys_reiserfs.c: In function `next_key': fsys_reiserfs.c:761: warning: operation on `depth' may be undefined make[1]: *** [libgrub_a-fsys_reiserfs.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/bms/grub_i/grub-0.92/stage2' make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 (Sorry I am not very good at compile errors - I'm still learning) _Summary_ I would be greatful for any sugestions on what other tests I can try. Looks like there is a problem between BIOS, GNU/Grub on CD when not using floppy emulation. Seen in other laptops. Best Regards, Brendan M.
