usually, boot loader should be installed in the boot sector of the hard disk. not in a partition. Dont install in a root partition. > root@ubuntu:/# sudo grub-install /dev/sda8 > sudo: unable to resolve host ubuntu > /usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: Attempting to install GRUB to a partitionless > disk or to a partition.

However, blocklists are > UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged.. try installing in the hard disk itself. sudo grub-install /dev/sda This will detect the existing OS in all the partitions and setup the boot menu. Try this and share the results. -- Regards, T.Shrinivasan My Life with GNU/Linux : http://goinggnu.wordpress.com Free E-Magazine on Free Open Source Software in Tamil : http://kaniyam.com Get CollabNet Subversion Edge : http://www.collab.net/svnedge _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
