Hmm. Are you trying to install grub onto a hard disk which is /not/ the current root filesystem? The /proc/mounts you sent seems to indicate that: > *********************** BEGIN /proc/mounts > /dev/scd0 /cdrom iso9660 ro 0 0 > /dev/tagesuhu/root / ext2 rw,errors=continue 0 0 > *********************** END /proc/mounts As far as I know, when you install grub onto a filesystem other than / (such as if you're trying to install grub onto a hard disk from within a rescue CD environment) you need to add the --root-directory=<mount point> parameter, such as: grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/cf /dev/hdc The above is what I've used to install grub legacy onto a compact flash card. -- Chris -- Chris Knadle chris.kna...@coredump.us -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
