GRUB boots into the rescue shell. ls => empty ls (hd0,1) => error: disk 'hd0,1' not found ls (hd0,msdos1) => error: disk 'hd0,msdos1' not found and once again, booting the ubuntu live-cd. mounting /dev/sda1 to /mnt grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt /dev/sda now i copy my same grub.cfg into /boot/grub rebooting grub runs as expected. but it's not the bootloader i compiled, its the bootloader and all the modules from ubuntu. i made 2 more experiment: instead of ubuntu i started parted magic and used its grub. i used the 32bit version and mounted my 32bit partition and the 64bit parted magic with my 64bit partition. both boot as expected. one mor thing to mention: i tried grub 1.99 (just applied the same sed as in the book for grub 2.0). almost the same result as with grub 2.0.: GRUB loading. Welcome to GRUB! error: disk not found. Entering rescue mode... grub 2.0 says: "error: disk 'hd0,msdos1' not found." where as grub 1.99 says: "error: disk not found." "ls" from the grub-rescue-console is empty "ls (hd0,1)" differs a little: grub 2.0 says: "error: disk 'hd0,msdos1' not found." where as grub 1.99 says: "error: disk not found." i can reproduce the problem on 3 different systems: - intel i7 - intel atom - intel core2duo i connected the disk to each sata-connector on each board. i even tried to connect the boot disk on the first sata and some more disks to other ports to see what ls tells me. always the same, the bootloader wont find any disk, cd or floppy (the core2duo has a floppy) where as the ubuntu-grub lists all connected disk (going to the shell and use "ls"). i'd say it can't be a bios problem. i don't see any reason to blame my toolchain. i build grub to the letter of the book. it seems i'm the only one having problems with building grub 2.0. thus i guess the problem must be somwhere in my setup. i have no other package with problems. x11 with xfce, firefox, thunderbird, qemu/kvm, libreoffice all run fine. the grub tools seem to be ok as far i can see, it is just the bootloader which fails to find any disk. i probably have to live without a self-compiled grub for a while... tobias -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
