Hi all,
I'm seeing odd behaviour of grub v0.95 on my Opteron box
(FC3 + all updates as of 6 April). The box only has SCSI disks.
The first oddity is that command-line editing and recall
dont work. Grub just echoes back a string of ^[[A
or ^[[D stuff. This works OK on my FC3/x86 box.
Also, grub exits after a CTRL/D on the Opteron box, but
needs the quit command on the PC.
The real problem though, is that 'find' doesnt seem
to work, although I can 'cat' the file OK:
[root at ls1 ~]$ grub
Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.
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> cat (hd0,0)/junk.sda1
cat (hd0,0)/junk.sda1
This is /dev/sda1
grub> find /boot/junk.sda1
find /boot/junk.sda1
Error 15: File not found
grub> find junk.sda1
find junk.sda1
Error 15: File not found
grub> root (hd0,0)
root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
grub> find junk.sda1
find junk.sda1
Error 15: File not found
grub>
All this works OK on the PC, which is booted from
an IDE disk, but also has SCSI disks attached.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Terry.
