(Please CC me on replies) Hi,
I think the *disk* is wrong. The thing is that grub gets the list of disks from the *BIOS* and Linux gets it directly from the IDE controller. So, not only Linux may "holes" in its numbering (no /dev/hda, but there is a /dev/hdb), but also the *order* may be different. Linux numbers them in the lexicographic order of the "channel,master/slave" tuple, but BIOS (and thus grub) orders them by booting order. So your (first) boot disk will always be (hd0) to grub. The second in booting order will be (hd1), etc. (That's why there is a file /boot/grub/device.map, so that you can correct the mapping if the OS-level grub executables (/sbin/grub, grub-install, update-grub) detected it wrong.) -- Lionel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
