Hi Pete, The drive HAS to be bootable "as it is right now". Otherwise I would never know that GRUB was failing at Stage 1.5. The odd bit is that the system boots via a boot floppy (or boot cd) from using mkbootdisk. But perhaps this isn't so odd as GRUB is eliminated when booting in this fashion. I just don't know. Cheers, Harry Quoting Pete Nesbitt <pete@xxxxxxxxx>: *> Harry, *> This is very strange. Your floppy boot works but the hda mbr fails. hmmm *> I think Otto touched on this, but is the drive bootable (physically not *> according to a fdisk flag). Do you have a old test hd you could swap in just *> to eliminate the chance it is the hdd actually causing the probs. *> -- *> Pete Nesbitt, rhce -- Harry Hoffman hhoffman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------- The next time your boss says: "Let's not focus on the negative, but rather look at the positive", punch them in the gut and respond: "Let's not focus on how negative this makes you feel but rather how positive I am now feeling". ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IpSolutions: http://www.ip-solutions.net/ -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
