Hello! me again.... now after several successful reboots with grub, and having changed nothing at the booloader, now the thing stops at stage 2 with a error no 21.... BTW i switched to grub, because there was no way to get lilo to work....
this is reported as 21 : Selected disk does not exist now when i look at the devices: cat /boot/grub/device.map (fd0) /dev/fd0 (hd0) /dev/hda (hd1) /dev/sda this looks fine: the IDE disk for the short term non important data and the SCSI disk for the system and userdata.... i made the grub-install onto /dev/hda.... system is a AMD Athlon1.3GHz .... Adaptec controller, Epox motherboard i am unable even following the docu to produce a working grub boot floppy.... and i am stuck with a prehistoric kernel, since makeboot seems not to be able to cope with initrd.... any ideas? -- ciao bboett ============================================================== [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://inforezo.u-strasbg.fr/~bboett http://erm1.u-strasbg.fr/~bboett =============================================================== the total amount of intelligence on earth is constant. human population is growing....
