GRUB issue
First let me state..
I'm a Linux NEWB! I got a copy of Knoppix to try out Linux. I loved it. So I downloaded RedHat and installed the full server version to my second Hard Drive (10GB Ibm, Primary IDE, slave). The install went fine.. all appeared well but when I reboot my machine.. I get GRUB. I understand this is my boot loader. However all it does is just sit there.. It says "GRUB" and then does nothing. If I hit a key I get a system beep. I managed to create a new boot disk, which works.. (too bad I don't have one for windows). Any idea what I did wrong? A way to fix it? Anything I'm kind of desprite here. Thanks a lot fellow geeks. |
have you switched the drives around after installing it or did you install it with the drive on pri slave already? post the contents of your /boot.grub/grub.conf file and clarify the structure of teh partitions on your system. (run fdisk -l to check them if you don't know)

My machine looks like this....
hd0 (C:) is a FAT32 60GB HD on the Primary IDE cable in the master slot on a cable select cable, with WinMe on it. Yeah, I hate it too. Which brings me to hd1 (D: or atleast it used to be) is a ext3 10GB HD on the Primary IDE cable in the slave slot on a cable select cable, with RedHat 8.0 on it. The computer to boot into RedHad with a boot disk, but I lack a boot disk for Windows. Which would have been smart now wouldn't it have? # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. # root (hd1,0) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hdb6 # initrd /initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/hda default=1 timeout=10 splashimage=(hd1,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-14) root (hd1,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi initrd /initrd-2.4.18-14.img title DOS rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 |
