Haven't replaced /dev/hdb yet. Is there some way of getting it ignored in the following scenario?I started aptitude. It told me it hadn't been cleanly shut down last time, and recommended I do dpkg --configure -a before I do anything else. I do that, and the system apparently does some cleanup, generating initrd images, and then starts to update grub. Update-grub stalls on block 51 of device /dev/hdb, trying to do something with it over and over (as presented on the main system console, which is *not* the one I'm trying to run aptitude on) Now evidently /dev/hdb is not working and will need to be replaced. But isn't there some way to tell grub to ignore /dev/hdb? What is it that controls which drives grub tries to work with. It must get this from somewhere. I did not specify or mention /dev/hdb anywhere in my dpkg --configure -a. And there are several other drives I could use to install grub and a boot record. I can even use the grub-install command to do so. So why, oh why, does it pick on /dev/sdb? -- hendrik
Open the case and unplug it? (golinux ducks and runs) _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
