I have three boxes successfully multi-booting
using Grub. Apart from one stupid error on my part, I
had no difficulty in installing Grub on any of these.
Now I have built a 'testing' box based on Asrock's
775Dual-VSTA mobo, an Intel 3.2Gig Cpu, a 120 Gig hard
drive (IDE and not SATA), floppy and a combo CD/DVD Writer.
I have installed W2000 (Hda1), Debian Sarge (Hda2), Ubuntu
Edgy Eft (Hda 5) and Simply Mepis 6.0 (Hda 6).
Grub will not boot from the Mbr (I'm sure it is
installed there as W2000 does not boot). Using Knoppix, I
have ascertained that the three Linux distros created and
configured Grub correctly. I've looked at the Bios settings
but find nothing which seems untoward (mind you, although
I've used Debian for over 10 years, I'm still little more
than a newbie when problems arise).
Assuming I can remember how to do so, I could
create a Grub boot floppy, but wish to avoid the repetitive
commandline initial work.
Does anyone have any suggestions which might help
me, please? Or, any history of such a problem with this mobo?
Regards,
John.
