hi,
i have dual boot box, and got this message booting win and all stops there:
booting "Windows"
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
probably this is cause i recently updated bios, anyway this is my grub.conf
(v.0.96-r2):
boot=/dev/hda
default=1
timeout=30
splashimage=(hd1,2)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Windows
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
title Gentoo 11.11 - vanilla
root (hd1,2)
kernel /kernel-2.6.11.11 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192
real_root=/dev/hdb11 video=radeonfb:mtrr:ywrap vga=7 splash=verbose nodevfs
udev devfs=nomount
initrd /initrd-2.6.11.11
and this is fdisk output:
# fdisk /dev/hda
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 59582.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/hda: 30.7 GB, 30750031872 bytes
16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 59582 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 47080 23728288+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/hda2 47096 59575 6289447+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/hda5 47096 59575 6289416 7 HPFS/NTFS
my question is - is this grub or partition table failure? or advise good
keywords for google.
