Grub Error 18: Exceeds Bios
Hello,
Thank you in advance.
I was running Suse 10 and just added Debian 3.1 to multiboot.
I can boot to Suse just fine however, when I try to boot to newly installed Debian, I get:
Grub Error 18: Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS

Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
