Grub error 21 confusion
I ran the Sarge install to make a dual boot system yesterday. I had it
install its partitions on my slave drive, making hdb1 the large
partition and then hdb5 the swap partition.
Install went well, went to reboot after first boot from cd, and got
Grub Error 21 message.
I spent all day googling this topic and looking at various manuals and
e-mailing one or two debian gurus I know, and to no avail. The weird
thing is when I run knoppix I can see and access all the files on hdb
but when I run setup for BIOS it indicates:
Primary Drive 0: Hard Disk
Primary Drive 1: Off
Secondary Drive 0: CD-ROM
Secondary Drive1:Off
I don't know much about Bios but this struck me as odd, because it
seems to me that Secondary Drive 0: should read Hard Disk as well. Yet
even when I try to set those paramaters by hand or auto, Bios doesn't
even pick up my second hard disk. All jumpers are set correctly.
Absolutely no response from tech support.
Any ideas?
