I start grub from a floppy, with two menu entries; the 1st looks for grub on the hard drive, and the 2nd is a fallback in case grub is not found on the hard drive.
Works great using a floppy, but now I need to use a CD instead of a floppy, and the fallback does not work when using the CD. After reporting the first error because grub is not found on the hard drive, it tries to run the fallback entry, but fails, reporting: Error 25: Disk read error and will not run the fallback entry. It looks as though some variable is not getting reset, because once you get into this failure mode, you can't escape it, even with human intervention, and you have to reboot. I'm looking at the code to see where the problem is, but it's not easy for a newbie ... if anyone has hints, they would be welcome. :-) BTW, if I make a floppy image and burn it to CD in floppy emulation mode, it works fine, just like the real floppy does. So the problem is specific to the non emulation mode CD. _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
