I have a debain machine which i cloned from another
machine. The cloning seemed to work perfectly but when i try boot the
machine i get a Grub error 17 Grub manual: Error17: " 17 : Cannot mount selected partition This error is returned if the partition requested exists,
but the filesystem type cannot be recognized by GRUB. " So i booted the machine from a knoppix live cd and mounted
the linux files system .. Menu.lst ----------- default 0 ## timeout sec # Set a timeout, in SEC seconds, before automatically
booting the default entry # (normally the first entry defined). timeout 5 # Pretty colours color cyan/blue white/blue ## ## End Default Options ## title

was cloned from original machine (hd0) /dev/hda But in the cloned machine it is (fd0) /dev/fd0 I tried adding hd0... to the cloned machine but it didn't
make any difference to the boot up #fdisk -l Disk /dev/hda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 9642 77449333+ 83 Linux /dev/hda2 9643 9729 698827+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hda5 9643 9729 698796 83 Linux would someone be able to explain this to me.. I understand that linux usually has a linux partition (hda1) and a swap partition (hda5) but have no idea where that hda2 comes from .. don't even
know what it is, possible an empty windows partition or soemthing. I
just grabed a new machine and started then cloning process. i think this is some kind of partition problem .. under a bit of pressure to sort this out today so if someone
can give me a hand be much appreciated. Oh and the filesystem type is reiserfs. Thanks in advance, derek Jeebers Ltd. Derek Organ Invent Centre, e: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- |
