Hi All I have a problem.
My system specs are P III Celeron 900MHz,256 MB RAM, 80 GB HDD on Primary master, 40 GB on Primary slave, DVD ROM-Secondary slave, DVD-Writer Secondary master. In 80 GB Primary master, Win XP and Debian 4.0 are installed in separate partitions (hda1,5,6,7 for windows, hda8 for debian). In 40 GB Primary slave windows accessible partitions were there and in hdb7, earlier mandrake was there and Ubuntu 7.04 was installed later and the GRUB of Ubuntu (installed in MBR of first HDD)took care of all the 3 OS's and I was happily booting into all the 3 OS's at will. Then I installed/upgraded Ubuntu 7.10 and then 8.04 also in the second Hard disk. But the GRUB displyed GRUB error 18 and I was unable to boot into Ubuntu. I googled and all were suggesting a small /boot partiton in a place accessible to GRUB and all. I thought all that problem went out the window with LILO! And all the while while using Ubuntu 7.04, no complaint of GRUB error 18 was seen! This came to the fore only on upgradation of Ubuntu! Is it because GRUB is in such a bad condition that once it is installed in MBR of first HDD that it is not able to boot OS in second HDD? If so what magic was there earlier that it booted older ubuntu? Can anybody help? Pointers please?
