RH9 boot from grub commandline?
Hi
I have a dual boot machine RH9 + XP which has Grub as the boot loader. I moved home recently and when I set the machine up in the new place all I got was the Grub commandline... with the error message: "error 18: selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS"... Since then I have trawled through the forum sites and worked out how to load xp as follows: rootnoverify (hd0,0) makeactive chainloader +1 boot Is there a similar way to load Linux from the grub command line?

Sounds to me something in your BIOS changed.. I would check there first as it probably went back to its default settings since it was unplugged and moved, perhaps you need a new cmos battery so this doesn't happen any longer.. ;)

Change BIOS settings?
Thanks...
Can anything be done about the current situation? I can get into XP and I have updated the BIOS but havent as yet found a way back into Linux... Do I need to change the bios settings? if so how and to what settings? C |
