>Is your grub.conf correct? Does it specify the correct GRUB root? >The full output of the installation attempt would be interesting. I edit my grub.conf as this (I had only this hard disk): root (hd0,4) kernel=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 root=/dev/hdb5 sorry I don't know how to get the output--redirection ditn't work! but I remember it is just one line telling me the stage1 can read correctly! >In your case, if you want to install GRUB into Master Boot Record >(MBR), running "grub-install /dev/hdb" would be correct, provided >that your grub.conf is correct.

Sorry, I am a newbe of linux and mailing list! The mails I received from this mail list was packaged. and I had to cut the word you said to this mail. I don't know how to get the mail client fill the subject automatically! Should I chage my submit to the mail list so that I can recevie your mail one by one? >> Now that I had to use a floppy to boot my pc(Thanks god ,I had made one after >> setup)! >> the command I use to boot linux is >> root(hd0,5) >> kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 root=/dev/hdb5 >I don't believe this, because root(hd0,5) would specify your boot >partition to be /dev/hd6, which is a swap partition according to >your partition table. Correct for your setup would be root(hd0,4). As you had seen in my grub.conf, I know that this command line seems wrong! But I do use it to boot my redhat! I use what you told me to boot redhat at first,grub told me that it can recognized the (hd0,4). If you are intertest in how my grub works! I can tell you one more strange things: when the grub on MRB can still work manually,I boot it to redhat and try to create a boot floppy ! after I had format the floppy disk as ext2(I am sure I had did it because i mount it as ext2),and then make the /boot/grub dir and copy the stage1 stage2 into it! Then I start grub : :root (fd0) it recognize the floppy disk as fat filesystem!Is grub allways take floppy disk as fat format? :setup (fd0) it told me can't find the stage1 and stage2! I try many time, the same thing happend! At last I format the floppy disk as vfat and setup the grub successfully! So I am using a boot floppy in fat format ! All my knowledge of grub seem to be challenged at this two days! winglion [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-17 -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
