I have devided a 500 GB Harddisk into three partitions. All partitions
are formatted in ext3. Grub can only access the first partition and
reports "Filesystem type unknown" when I try to access the other partitions.
When I list the partitions by pressing the tab key I get the following:
grub> root (hd0, <TAB>
Possible partitions are:
Partition num: 0, Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
Partition num: 1, Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x83
Partition num: 2, Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x83
When I run grub in emulation mode from the linux system started from the
first partition (hd0,0) the file systems are recognised:
grub> root (hd0, <TAB>
Possible partitions are:
Partition num: 0, Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
Partition num: 1, Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
Partition num: 2, Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
I have no idea how to solve the problem. I would be glad if somebody
could help me.
regards,
Samuel
