Hello, I have a brand new server: A Dell PowerEdge T105 Quad Core AMD64. I installed it with Debian Lenny, which installed Lilo as a bootloader. I installed grub2 manually:
grub-install /dev/sda update-grub When I boot I get dropped into a rescue shell because grub can't find fd1. The output of `ls`: (linuxvg-boot) (linuxvg-root) (linuxvg-swap) (hd0) (hd0,1) (hd0,2) (hd0,3) (fd0) (fd1) Thing is, my server has no floppy drive. It has one had disk containing two small Dell partitions and a big partition that is the PV for my LVM volume group "linuxvg". And it contains a DVD-ROM drive. No floppy drive. I even disabled the floppy controller in the BIOS. I am able to boot Debian by entering the boot commands manually: > insmod linux > linux (linuxvg-boot)/vmlinuz-2.6.25-2-amd64 root=/dev/mapper/linuxvg-root ro > initrd (linuxvg-boot)/initrd.img-2-6-25-2-amd64 > boot What can I do to fix this issue? Yesterday on #grub marco_g suggested that I try grub-legacy to see it it has the same fd1 problem. I can't install grub-legacy because it does not support having /boot on LVM, so I will need to test grub-legacy with a rescue image. Unfortunately I don't have a floppy drive so I can't try the grub legacy disk image supplied by the grub-disk package. I do have grub-rescue-cd but that's grub2, not grub-legacy. Does anyone have a grub-legacy rescue CD iso I can use to see if grub-legacy has the same problem as grub2?
