Hi all
I have a issue with grub using Debian etch. The picture is simple: PC
with only one hard disk (hda) and the following partition table.
cfdisk 2.12r
Disk Drive: /dev/hda
Size: 80026361856 bytes, 80.0 GB
Heads: 255 Sectors per Track: 63 Cylinders: 9729
Name Flags Part Type FS Type [Label] Size (MB)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hda1 Boot Primary NTFS [] 10742,22
hda5 Logical Linux swap 509,97
hda6 Logical Linux ext3 20480,95
hda7 Logical Linux ext3 12000,69
hda8 Logical Linux XFS 26000,12
hda3 Primary Linux ext3 10289,83
As you can see hda3 is the last primary partition and it is beyond the
last logical partition.
Debian + grub is on hda6 and it boots ok. But I have other Linux
distribution (Suse) installed on hda3 and when I tried to boot it, it
fails.
The boot sequence is the normal one:
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.25.9-0.2-default root=/dev/hda3
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.25.9-0.2-default
The “root” part woks ok:
grub> root (hd0,2)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
But then, is impossible to find a single file in that partition, and
there are.
grub> root (hd0,2)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
grub> kernel /boot/<tab>
Error 2: Bad file or directory type
grub> kernel /<tab>
Error 2: Bad file or directory type
Booting in real, it says “Error 15: file not found”, that is the same.
I think that is some problem with the fact that it is a primary
partition after the logical ones.
Can someone give me some light?
Thaks,
Peibol.
