I want to work with this GRUB project in whatever capacity that I can to help. I am not a super technical programmer but I am quite good at doing the things that I do. If my tone is somewhat crisp then please accept my apologies in advance, I am killing a lot of coffee beans in this process and even having some fun at it!

Let me try that for you right now. ok boot hd:1,/grub/grubof.modules error: error while trying to load or boot ok http://www.blastwave.org/dclarke/grub/grub_1.91/day_02/img_1284.jpg > > This then results in the GNU GRUB version 1.91 screen > > > > grub> set > > prefix=(hd) > > root=hd > > From here, please run the following: > grub> suspend > ok dev /chosen > ok .properties okay .. I will use what works to get grub going ... ok boot hd:1 /grub/grubof.modules That works and gets me to GRUB then I type your commands above ... grub> suspend Run 'go' to resume GRUB. ok dev /chosen ok .properties name "chosen" stdin 0xFDA01A0 (265945504) stdout 0xFD9FEF8 (265944824) bootpath "/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED],1/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0" bootargs "" memory 0xFC54D40 (264588608) mmu 0xFC55D48 (264592712) ok http://www.blastwave.org/dclarke/grub/grub_1.91/day_02/img_1285.jpg I then type "go" ( without the quotes ) and the screen goes black with the exception of this single line at the top : Failed to claim heap at 0x4000, len 0x1fb000 http://www.blastwave.org/dclarke/grub/grub_1.91/day_02/img_1286.jpg At this point I have a dead machine again.

If so we will need some > details. I don't know if it is or it isn't. I know that when I boot with yaboot everything works fine and I am using the same kernel on the same machine. Here is what my yaboot.conf file looks like : [EMAIL PROTECTED] grub]# cat ../yaboot/yaboot.conf # yaboot.conf generated by anaconda boot=/dev/hda init-message=Welcome to Fedora Core!\nHit <TAB> for boot options partition=1 timeout=80 install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot delay=5 enablecdboot enableofboot enablenetboot nonvram mntpoint=/boot/yaboot usemount image=/vmlinuz-2.6.12-1.1456_FC4 label=linux read-only initrd=/initrd-2.6.12-1.1456_FC4.img root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 append="rhgb quiet" And here is my grub.cfg : [EMAIL PROTECTED] grub]# cat grub.cfg timeout 10 title Linux linux (hd,1)/vmlinuz-2.6.12-1.1456_FC4 root=/dev/hda1 initrd (hd,1)/initrd-2.6.12-1.1456_FC4.img So I guess I would need to know more about the spec for the grub.cfg file to know what it wants. There is a picture of what happens in that list of pictures above. http://www.blastwave.org/dclarke/grub/grub_1.91/day_01/img_1282.jpg With yaboot I get the following : How to boot yaboot from the Genesi ODW firmware http://www.blastwave.org/dclarke/grub/grub_1.91/day_02/img_1287.jpg yaboot 1.3.13 (Red Hat 1.3.13-06) has loaded its config file http://www.blastwave.org/dclarke/grub/grub_1.91/day_02/img_1288.jpg yaboot 1.3.13 loading the kernel ( sorry for the blur ) http://www.blastwave.org/dclarke/grub/grub_1.91/day_02/img_1289.jpg Red Hat nash version 4.2.15 http://www.blastwave.org/dclarke/grub/grub_1.91/day_02/img_1290.jpg Fedora Core 4 nifty graphical boot progress http://www.blastwave.org/dclarke/grub/grub_1.91/day_02/img_1291.jpg Fedora Core 4 login http://www.blastwave.org/dclarke/grub/grub_1.91/day_02/img_1292.jpg Dennis Clarke [EMAIL PROTECTED]
