New Debian Installer... Grub problems...
Well the new
installer seems to work great ... except its doing nothing for me since the boot
loader isnt working... no matter what i tell grub (take in mind everytime i give
it i new install path I have to redo the whole install (bug problem I assume))
it will not work.... I tried everything from (hd0) - (hd5) and /dev/sda
/dev/sdb3 and I get nothing.
Here is my drive
configuration
hda
WD 180 > all one
partition NTFS all my windows storage
sda
IBM labeled fujitsu
36gig 15,000 rpm scsi (id 0) Windows boot... main drive.... (original boot
loaded from windows now with broken lilo from last debian install that went to
hell...)
sdb
Wd 9gig 10,000 rpm
scsi (id4)
I believe
/dev/sdb3 (6.2 gigs) is where root is.... (i booted knoppix and
checked what drive all the system files were on)
/dev/sdb1 (500
megs) = /var
/dev/sdb2 (2.1 gigs)
= /home
When the current
lilo boots if I boot Linux is gives me a kernal panix it
says:
Please edit "root="
option
cant mount root
drive blah blah
I tried doing: Linux
root=/dev/sda
Linux
root=/dev/sda1
Linux
root=/dev/sdb1
Linux
root=/dev/sdb2
Linux
root=/dev/sdb3
I turned up with
nothing each time. I cannot stand windows... its awful. The whole concept just
bothers me. Just happens I run lan parties and happen to be a
gamer.
I can use any input
I can get....
Thanks
Thomas
