Hi,
i've installed FC4 on a box with Win2000 on an SATA-Drive. I Would like to
boot FC4 using the Windows Bootloader (its a company PC). After installing
FC4 on a separate HD i recognized that the DVD drive was jumpered as master
and the HD i installed Linux on was jumpered slave. I've changed the jumper
settings and booted using the rescue CD in order to adapt /etc/fstab and
reinstalled grub with --recheck to get the device.map corrected.
Grub is installed to the root partition /dev/hda1 and the bootsector is
added to the windows bootloader:
grub-install --recheck /dev/hda1
dd if=/dev/hda1 bs=512 count=1 of=bootsector_fc4
When i try to start linux grub just displays "GRUB" and nothing else happens.
Installing grub to a floppy gives exactly the same error.
Here's my grub.conf:
#boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
#hiddenmenu

/dev/hda6 on /tmp type ext3 (rw,defaults)
/dev/hda3 on /usr type ext3 (rw,defaults)
/dev/hda5 on /var type ext3 (rw,defaults)
The SATA HD is recognized as a SCSI-drive? Is that ok?
I looked through grub man page but found nothing in the truobleshooting section.
Does anyone have a clue what i've done wrong?
Tnx, Andre
