I am seeing unaligned pointer messages when I use grub2 on /dev/hda2. If I type 'root (hd0,2)', I get 'unaligned pointer 0x7ff94' and if I type 'insmod (hd0,2)/boot/grub/mulitboot.mod', I get 'unaligned pointer 0x7ff64'. I downloaded the source, built it and installed it on my hard drive to test it out. I had an unused partition that contains a fork of my live system, so I figured I could put grub2 on that. That partition was hda3 (hd0,2). So I ran grub-install /dev/hda3 and that went okay. The files showed up in the right spot in /boot/grub. Then I ran grub-setup "(hd0,2)" which also went fine. I tried booting the image in bochs and qemu using /dev/hda as the drive for the emulated machine, chainloading from grub-legacy on (hd0) to grub2 on (hd0,2). I get the grub prompt and all looks fine until I try to do something interesting. Then I got the above messages. I tried running on the actual harware rather than the emulator, but that gave the same messages, so I figured I should report them. --Vernon _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
