 Problems with grub [soved – no bug] | |

Junior Mitglied Posts: 28 Registered: 2008-05-12 | I've just installed paldo and it really rocks! 
But I have a problem: After the installation (I let paldo overwrite my master boot record) I've made a "grub-install /dev/sda" from my Debian system. After rebooting, I opened a grub command line with "c", then I entered: "root (hd0,2)" (my paldo system is on /dev/sda3). Up to this point, all worked. But after typing "configfile /boot/grub/menu.lst" I got an error message ("bad request" or something like that). This is the first time that the configfile command didn't work, so I don't know what to do. 
Hope you can help me! |

| Code | [In neuem Fenster öffnen] | | title paldo stable (linux 2.6.24.7-paldo1-x86)
kernel /boot/linux-2.6.24.7-paldo1-x86 root=/dev/sda3 vga=0x317
initrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.24.7-paldo1-x86

Basic grub install:
Start grub and issue root <grub name of your paldo partition>, e.g. root (hd0,0) if you're installing paldo on the first partition of your first disk, followed by setup <grub name of your boot disk>, e.g. setup (hd0); this installs grub as the bootloader for your system. Quit grub.
Grub HDDs:
sda <> hd0
sda1 <> hd0,0
sda2 <> hd0,1
sda2 <> hd0,2
...
sda10 <> hd0,9
sdb <> hd1
sdb1 <> hd1,0
...
sdb5 <> hd1,4
sdc <> hd2
sdc1 <> hd2,0
...
sdc8 <> hd2,7 |

I had the idea to reinstall grub from my Debian system (with the chroot and grub-install commands) but this didn't work either:
| Code | [In neuem Fenster öffnen] | |
debian:/media# mkdir paldo
debian:/media# mount /dev/sda3 /media/paldo
debian:/media# chroot /media/paldo
[root@debian:/]# grub-install /dev/sda
/dev/sda: Not found or not a block device.

My paldo grub menu.lst (automatically generated):
(At the beginning there are some setkey commands.)
| Code | [In neuem Fenster öffnen] | |
title paldo stable (linux 2.6.24.7-paldo1-x86)
kernel /boot/linux-2.6.24.7-paldo1-x86
root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/ecd0f6b1-9dbd-45e5-b439-4ea1ddc72cb0
resume=/dev/disk/by-uuid/de4df1ad-788e-465b-a16a-6f187a88792a vga=0x317
initrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.24.7-paldo1-x86

I use the new paldo GNU/Linux version 1.14.

Junior Mitglied Posts: 7 Registered: 2006-09-14 | What is /dev/sda3 in paldo is /dev/hda3 in Debian. Try adding this to Debian's menu.lst:
| Code | [In neuem Fenster öffnen] | | title paldo stable (linux 2.6.24.7-paldo1-x86)
root=/dev/hda3
kernel /boot/linux-2.6.24.7-paldo1-x86 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/ecd0f6b1-9dbd-45e5-b439-4ea1ddc72cb0 resume=/dev/disk/by-uuid/de4df1ad-788e-465b-a16a-6f187a88792a vga=0x317
initrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.24.7-paldo1-x86 |
Make sure that the kernel line does not break! .............................. Ariszlo |

No, it isn't, it seems like it were /dev/disk/by-uuid/ecd0f6b1-9dbd-45e5-b439-4ea1ddc72cb0 !?

It just broke the lines to fit in the browser window. |

Junior Mitglied Posts: 7 Registered: 2006-09-14 | Yes, that is what you should have in the kernel line but sometimes it may help to add a separate root line between the title and kernel like this:
| Code | [In neuem Fenster öffnen] | | title paldo stable (linux 2.6.24.7-paldo1-x86)
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/linux-2.6.24.7-paldo1-x86 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/ecd0f6b1-9dbd-45e5-b439-4ea1ddc72cb0 resume=/dev/disk/by-uuid/de4df1ad-788e-465b-a16a-6f187a88792a vga=0x317
initrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.24.7-paldo1-x86 |
I was wrong in my previous post: unlike in the kernel line where you need an equal sign after "root", there should be no equal sign in the root line. .............................. Ariszlo |

Moderator Linux-Dude Posts: 1187 Registered: 2006-11-23 | mostly we are in the irc-chat: irc.freenode.net/#paldo
In paldo we have /DEV/SDAx or /DEV/DISK/BY-UUID/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx |
