Hi,
like you probably read in my last posts, I'm looking toward installing RedHat 9...
Last time doing so, I was told not to use Grub but OSL2000 instead. But OSL2000 cannot boot linux (am I right?) It needs grub...
Actually, I'm booting RH with a floppy.
Heres my hds:
hda1 = XP primary active NTFS
hda3 = "/boot" ext3 primary
hda4 = swap
hda5 = / ext3 extended logical
hda6 = XP program files (NTFS) extended logical
hda7 = personnal data (NTFS) extended logical
I don't really knows what hda2 is...
Now i'd like to install grub, but not on the mbr, it should be on hda3 isn't it? I don't know how I should do this...
I've tryed grubconf and I saw that /boot/grub/menu.lst didn't exist so created one.
But I cannot load Grub... all I've been able to do is get those 2 messages:
GRUB
and:
GRUB geom error
What should I do?
tanks
Edited:
heres \boot\grub\menu.lst
Code:
# Generated by grubconf-0.5
default=1
timeout=10
title Red Hat 9
#:0 <-- type: 0 => linux, 1 => windows, 2 => other
root (hd0,2)
kernel /vmlinux-2.4.20-8 root=/dev/hda5 initrd /initrd-2.4.20-8.img
title Windows XP
#:1 <-- type: 0 => linux, 1 => windows, 2 => other
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
this gives me the geom error...
I'm also unable to mount my external USB floppy.
there is nothing under /dev/fd0 or sda
All i can find to mount is /proc/bus/usb but mouting this doesn't work...
