Aha.
I do have a flash image built using a rather
laborious and time intensive technique that does work and I derived my
solutions from that original technique so I know the basic technique is
viable.
Any doc about this intensive technique ?
What that problem is, I'm not sure. If it's not grub, feel free
to tell me so and I will look elsewhere for help.
I do not know.
This is the sequence I use to install grub on the file image that will
be transferred to the flash.
/sbin/grub --verbose --no-floppy --batch <<EOF >/dev/null 2>&1
device (hd0) $DEST_FILE
geometry (hd0) $cyl $heads $sectors
root (hd0,0)
makeactive
install $grub_PARMS (hd0,0)/boot/grub/stage1 (hd0)
(hd0,0)/boot/grub/stage2 0x8000 p /boot/grub/g
rub.conf
quit
EOF
Why don't you run a sync command after the script?
Why don't you postpone the makeactive command into another grub batch
sequence?
Why don't you use setup (hd0) instead of the manual install ?
any ideas?
You might try my super grub disk instead of lastest grub to see if you
are more lucky, sgd has some patches more than 0.97 but... please ask me
... because among other things you should dev_grub/util/grub as the grub
executable after you have compiled it.
