hi guys, i having problems with grub for LFS 6.0
My LFS system fstab file is:
#Begin /etc/fstab
#
#Filesystem Mount-Point Type Options Dump fsck-Order
#
/dev/hda7 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda6 swap swap pri=42 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=4,mode=620 0 0
shm /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
#End of /etc/fstab
and my HOST system fstab file is
/dev/hda2 / reiserfs
acl,user_xattr 1 1
/dev/hda4 /windows/C vfat
users,gid=users,umask=0002,
iocharset=utf8 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts
mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
proc /proc proc
defaults 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs
noauto 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs
noauto 0 0
/dev/hdb4 /media/zip auto
noauto,user 0 0
/dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder subfs
fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,
nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0
/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom subfs
fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,
nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0
/dev/hda6 swap swap
pri=42 0 0
/dev/hda7 /mnt/lfs ext3 defaults 1 2
when i try to configure grub with root (hd0,6) grub tells me
Error 21: Selected disk does not exist
It did allow me to do this before, but since the system wouldn't boot, i
decided to play around with the bootloader.
my host system menu.lst is
# Modified by YaST2. Last modification on Fri Dec 10 20:19:09 2004
color white/blue black/light-gray
default 0
timeout 8
gfxmenu (hd0,1)/boot/message

initrd (hd0,4)/boot/initrd-2.6.9-1.667smp.img
whereas my LFS menu.lst is just
title LFS 6.0
root (hd0,6)
kernel /boot/lfskernel-2.6.8.1 root=/dev/hda7
I had the other SuSE and Redhat options in the first LFS attempt, but
now I seem to have broken the chain. Also, if you look at my host fdisk
file,
/dev/hda2 * 96 62523 31463302+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda3 62523 114543 26218080 f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hda5 62523 92996 15358108+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda6 92996 95020 1020096 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda7 95021 113744 9436864+ 83 Linux
you'll see that there's a Linux partition on /dev/hda5 which is Fedora
Core 3. The gub/menu.lst entry for this is
title Fedora Core III
root (hd0,4)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667smp ro root=LABEL=/ quiet
initrd (hd0,4)/boot/initrd-2.6.9-1.667smp.img
whereas for SuSE, the main system I'm using and the system which I'm
using to build LFS, is on /dev/hda2 with grub entry
title SuSE Linux 9.1 Professional
kernel (hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 vga=0x31a
splash=silent desktop resume=/dev/hda5 showopts
initrd (hd0,1)/boot/initrd
Has anyone got any suggestions on how I might fix this? (I appreciate
that my whole Linux installation may be screwed up from the start)
Regards
vmlinuz101
