 Posted: Thu Jul 03, 2003 11:50 pm Post subject: Can't boot from SATA disk |
 |
|
I've just reinstalled Gentoo (needed to clean up a bit anyway) on my new Maxtor SATA drive, but GRUB seems unable to boot Linux from it. I've installed the kernel on a separate partition (like on my old drive), hd1,0, but Grub says it can't find the file (the kernel I suppose). My solution for now is to boot the kernel residing on my old drive, and mounting the root dir from my new drive (which works fine). Any ideas as to what goes wrong would be welcome.
I have an Asus A7N8X with Silicon Image controller btw. |

| i thought that SATA was supposed to be transparent to the OS, but is it possible that GRUB, for some strange reason, doesn't have support for it? |

| Thats what I'm wondering too, but I hope someone else with a similar setup can tell. |

| Nevermind, turned out to be a subtle, yet moronic, error in my grub.conf file. |
