Sorry that I mixed the device name of grub and linux! this is the partition tabel I got,using parted command: Disk geometry for /dev/hdb: 0.000-38166.679 megabytes Disk label type: msdos Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flags 1 0.031 9546.438 primary FAT boot, lba 2 9546.438 38162.219 extended lba 5 9546.500 14543.217 logical ext3 6 14543.249 15539.436 logical linux-swap 7 15539.467 16041.467 logical ext3 8 16041.498 19092.875 logical FAT 9 19092.907 28639.313 logical FAT 10 28639.345 38162.219 logical FAT this is the device.map # this device map was generated by anaconda (fd0) /dev/fd0 (hd0) /dev/hdb
now the thing get worse after my trying to use "grub-install" command to install grub! I type :grub-install -recheck /dev/hdb it told me :/boot/grub/stag1 not read correctly! I had try to copy the /usr/share/grub/i386-pc/stage1 stage2 to overwrite the them, but the result is the same error! Adding the "--force-lba" to the command didn't work either! Now that I had to use a floppy to boot my pc(Thanks god ,I had made one after setup)! the command I use to boot linux is root(hd0,5) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 root=/dev/hdb5 Thank's for your help anyway! More advice please! Thank you! -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
