This an error message from the grub-install script when it verifies whether the boot loader images read by GRUB itself are the same than as read by your operating system from local file-system. If you have specified a wrong GRUB root device or GRUB reads wrong data due to geometry mismatch or anything like that, the sanity check fails. > rpm -V grub didn't output any thing!

Why GRUB thinks that (hd0,5) is ext2, is beyond me. Maybe the partition type has been set wrongly. Check with "fdisk -l /dev/hdb" since "parted" displays the installed file-system. But since you had mentioned the initial installation worked, maybe you played with the BIOS settings and disabled LBA or anything like that. There's nothing further I can do when you insist on specifying your swap partition as GRUB root device. - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+dvx+0iMVcrivHFQRAp+uAJ9WflZzfIX9LDH0ZQdQhqnmBmiDuQCfd3Wy 0LkLBa92kHjmdYXNknPCMc0= =tjCJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
