Hi Goswin, My apologies, I sent my answer to you directly. Here it is again, but this time with a propper list-reply:
> Check that the bios and grub agree on the order of the drives. Try > running grub-install for the other drive or switch the mapping in > /boot/grub/device.map. I forgot to mention in my first message that I have removed the second drive in order to reduce to problem to the most simple setup. So right now I have only 1 HDD as the primary master and 1 DVD player as the secondary master. Just to be sure I changed /boot/grub/device.map anyway [1], but it did not help. Thanks for the suggestion. I get the feeling that the system somehow is not able to access or read the MBR, but why that might be I am not sure. I thought of writing the MBR anew, but this Live CD does not offer grub, nor grub-install. Do you know if I can use a Knoppix 3.8.2 CD on an amd64 system without asking for more trouble? Grx HdV P.S. I did that by issueing "mount -t auto /dev/hda1 /mnt" from a root console in Ubuntu Live. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
