Hi all,
I'm looking for some advice please... I have built many LFS systems before and some using grub. This is the first time I've had any real problems.
I have successfully completed everything in the book (LFS 6.0) up to and including installing grub on the MBR. When I reboot the PC however, I get:
Grub Loading stage1.5. Grub loading, please wait... Error 21
At this point I have to CTL-ALT-DEL to restart.
According to the manual this means:
"
Selected disk does not exist
This error is returned if the device part of a device- or full file name refers to a disk or BIOS device that is not present or not recognized by the BIOS in the system.
"
I have two disks on the first ide interface configured as Primary and Slave. The Primary disk has Windoze on it. The second disk has LFS6.0 on it.
When I ran grub from the chrooted env. I told it:
root (hd1,9) (My LFS install is on hdb10) setup (hd0) (I want to use grub to boot either OS)
It seemed O.K., gave no errors and installed stage1, 1.5 (for reiserfs as hdb10 is reiserfs), and stage 2 and the menu.lst. It found them in /boot/grub.
My menu.lst has two entries, the first, for M$:
title Windows rootnoverify (hd0,0) makeactive chainloader +1
And for Linux:
title LFS 6.0 root (hd1,9) kernel /boot/lfskernel-2.6.8.1 root=/dev/hdb10
==========================
Anyone got any clues as to why grub won't even load???
Thanks
