 Posted: Tue Mar 24, 2009 5:59 am Post subject: grub setup success, but no boot [solved] |
 |
|
I finished the setup where I ran setup on grub (FYI, I am uing grub-static because I am using the no-multilib profile):
| Code: | rub> root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
grub> setup (hd0)
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes
Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"... 18 sectors are embedded.
succeeded
Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+18 p (hd0,0)/boot/grub/stage2
/boot/grub/menu.lst"... succeeded
Done.

but upon reboot, it can't boot off this drive (which is the only hdd on the computer).
| Code: | # fdisk -l /dev/sda
Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Your boot partition is bigger than 1024 cylinders. You should check your BIOS settings wether you have LBA enabled.
