Package: grub Version: 0.97-27 Severity: normal I have a new install of etch on hdc2. Grub calls that (hd1,1):
hooloovoo:~# grub-install --recheck /dev/hda Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time. Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub Installation finished. No error reported. This is the contents of the device map /boot/grub/device.map. Check if this is correct or not. If any of the lines is incorrect, fix it and re-run the script `grub-install'. (fd0) /dev/fd0 (hd0) /dev/hda (hd1) /dev/hdc in /boot/grub/menu.lst, the partitions to boot from are mentioned as (hd1,x): hooloovoo:~# cat /boot/grub/menu.lst | grep hd # root (hd0,0) # root (hd0,1) # kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 ro ## e.g. kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro ## kopt_2_6_8=root=/dev/hdc1 ro ## kopt_2_6_8_2_686=root=/dev/hdc2 ro # kopt=root=/dev/hdc2 ro ## e.g. groot=(hd0,0) # groot=(hd1,1) ## e.g. defoptions=vga=791 resume=/dev/hda5 root (hd1,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-4-486 root=/dev/hdc2 ro root (hd1,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-4-486 root=/dev/hdc2 ro single # on /dev/hdc1 root (hd1,0) map (hd0) (hd1) map (hd1) (hd0) # on /dev/hdc7 root (hd1,6) map (hd0) (hd1) map (hd1) (hd0) Despite this, grub fails to boot because it doesn't find the partition to boot from. If I hand-edit (hd1,1) to (hd0,1) before booting from the grub menu, it does boot. This means that grub is calling hdc (hd1,x) sometimes and (hd0,x) other times. Any idea what might be causing this? -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-486 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages grub depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.5-5 Shared libraries for terminal hand grub recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
