my question: what do i miss if anything? or is this normal for the new
grub? is there anything to do about this? has this got to do with
UUID-numbers?
I'm not sure to have understood it at all.
"Mounting" is different than "booting", so, what kind of error are you
experiencing that involves GRUB2 and mounting? Moreover, how can a
bootloader interfere in mounting a partition? :-?
Greetings,
hi camaleón
that is exactly my problem. what i do know is the difference (after some
work) with the early days of grub. i install in one machine on separate
hd's p.e. debian, gentoo and slackware, with on each hd grub installed
in the mbr. at each install i loosened the cables of the other two hd's.
each installation is so completely independent of each other. in the old
days i could with simple modifications in /etc/fstab and /mnt make the
installation on /dev/hdax *see* the file systems on the other hd's :
/dev/hdy and /dev/hdz.
with sata ide' s this was possible too on my (two) machines (included
windows xp that i somatimes *must* use) up till now.
my newest machine only has sata connections. when i install on the three
sata hd's in this machine completely independent of each other with
loosened cables of the *other* two disks; including grub2 placing the
bootloader in the mbr of each disk independently of each other; and i
start up with again fastened cables; my /dev/sda1 does *not* recognize
/dev/sdb1 etc.
when i install on the same way on the three disks (a lot of work last
two nights) the same os' s on these disks; the debian (squeeze) os *can*
see the filesystems on the other two hd's *with* grub2 installed but
*without* putting the bootloader in the mbr of these two disks. older
ata-hd's are not recognized/seen at all anymore.
so: without a solution i have to put lilo after years in working order
again. i do not see any progression in this; with due respect to all the
work of the developers put in grub2.
i am sorry i was not clear enough. i hope i made myself clearer now.
k. reg.,
steef
