Hi all, I've just joined this mailing list, I note that it's a 'devel' list and not a 'users' list so please let me know if I should be posting elsewhere.
I have a problem with installing Ubuntu 5.10 on a USB hard drive. I followed the instructions at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=80811 but have now reached the point where those guys perhaps don't know how to help me. After following those instructions, I had a fully operational installation of Ubuntu that worked on some newer computers but not older ones. On older computers (~3yo) -- USB-boot capable, according to their BIOS -- I plug in the USB drive and the USB drive starts up but GRUB gives an "Error 16" at "stage 1.5" error. The exact same steps with the same USB HDD on a newer computer results in perfectly successful booting of the OS. Can you suggest where I look in order to track this error down further? If the error is at stage 1.5, does that mean that I maybe just don't have the right kernel modules loaded, or does this mean that GRUB isn't even getting as far as trying to load those? Would appreciate your advice, Cheers JP -- John Pye School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering The University of New South Wales Sydney NSW 2052 Australia t +61 2 9385 5127 f +61 2 9663 1222 mailto:john.pye_AT_student_DOT_unsw.edu.au http://pye.dyndns.org/ _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
