Hi folks,
following up on several earlier threads, including one of my own --
I'm trying desperately to install grub on an auxiliary hard drive
currently living on the 3rd IDE bus (/dev/hde). This is part of a
scheme to do a mass debian install based on disk images... but for now,
the important thing is that I can't seem to install grub to this
location.
I've tried 2 methods:
1) as root, execute grub-install "(hd2)" [also tried hd4, I get the
same results]. Here's the output:
grub-install "(hd2)"
GNU GRUB version 0.95 (640K lower / 3072K upper memory)
[ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word,
TAB
lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the
possible
completions of a device/filename. ]
grub> root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
grub> setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 --prefix=/boot/grub (hd2)
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes
Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd2)"... failed (this is not
fatal)
Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0,0)"... failed (this is
not fatal)
Running "install --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/stage1 d (hd2)
/boot/grub/stage2 p /boot/grub/menu.lst "... failed
Error 21: Selected disk does not exist
grub> quit
----------------
bummer. so, I tried a method suggested elsewhere, and chrooted into
the filesystem on the disk in question to install grub from there:
--- #chroot /mnt/hde root@anarres:/# grub-install /dev/hde /dev/hde does not have any corresponding BIOS drive. root@anarres:/# grub-install hd4 The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly. --- soooo... what's going on? I've been workingo n this for a while and need to have it working soon.... any suggestions? really REALLY appreciate your help, matt -------------------------- .''`.
