Hey I posted a couple weeks ago about not being able to boot w/grub
after installing from a sarge iso. I wound up returning the drive
b/c I thought it was bad. I got a new one in yesterday and I'm still
having the same problems.
install root to hdb1.
install grub to hdb1.
reboot
grub fails, machine locks
When I did an install w/one of the older woody CDs I did not have
these problems. My suspicion is that the partitions are being
created incorrectly.
Has anyone else run into any problems like this lately?
This sounds similar to a problem we've been fighting with. We build
debian based ISOs from a set of script files. Through at least the
middle of June the ISOs were fine. In early, July we started getting
ISOs that would fail in a manner similar to this.
We have a temporary fix for the problem by installing the capacity
limit jumpers on the 40GB drives we've been using... This has the
effect of limiting the capacity of the drive to 32GB ... and making
our ISOs install correctly.
Virtually all of our ISOs will install fine on a smaller drive.
