 Posted: Fri Jun 11, 2004 2:38 am Post subject: Grub error 17... |
 |
|
I know there are a ton of other grub threads on the forums and I've tried searching through them (including the excellent grub error collection which helped me with some other problems) but couldn't find anything that applied to my particular situation...
I have two hard drives, the first houses a windows installation... (/dev/hda)
I used the second to install gentoo on... (/dev/hdb)
Here's fdisk -l:
| Code: | Disk /dev/hda: 61.4 GB, 61471162368 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7473 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 7472 60018808+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
Disk /dev/hdb: 27.4 GB, 27417755648 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3333 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdb1 * 1 5 40131 83 Linux
/dev/hdb2 6 68 506047+ 82 Linux swap
/dev/hdb3 69 3333 26226112+ 83 Linux |
And here's my grub.conf:
| Code: | default 0
timeout 30
title=Gentoo Linux 2.4.25-R3
root (hd1,0)
kernel /kernel-2.4.25-gentoo-r3 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc real_root=/dev/hdb3 vga=0x317
initrd /initrd-2.4.25-gentoo-r3 |
Grub loads fine but when I select Gentoo, I get
| Code: | Booting ...
...
root (hd1,0)
Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7
Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition |
(It may also be important to note that I changed my boot order in my BIOS to boot from the second HD, which I installed grub to)
... I can't figure out what I did wrong, any help would be appreciated...

From the grub info page:
| Quote: | 15 : File not found
This error is returned if the specified file name cannot be found,
but everything else (like the disk/partition info) is OK.
|
Post the output of this command:
Also include a listing of /boot/grub directory.
Please list the commands you issued while you were inside of the grub shell. |
