Thanks for the tip, didn't know the command, but no, it doesn't work: Error 18: Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS > > hmmm... that's a little fishy. can we see your (as root) > > fdisk -l /dev/hda > hda is cdrom, the bootable disk is hdc: /boot/grub# fdisk -l /dev/hda /boot/grub# fdisk -l /dev/hdb /boot/grub# fdisk -l /dev/hdc Disk /dev/hdc: 10.2 GB, 10248118272 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1245 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0xa24df59a Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdc1 * 1 1244 9992398+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /boot/grub# fdisk -l /dev/hdd Disk /dev/hdd: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00014f58 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdd1 * 1 19331 155276226 83 Linux /dev/hdd2 19332 19457 1012095 82 Linux swap / Solaris As I'm typing this, I notice for the first time that hdd1 is marked as bootable.
