Hi,
I'm trying to install 7.8.0-AMD64 on an HP dc5850. The install went fine. After it asked me to remove the DVD so it could reboot, Grub loads and reports:
error: no such disk
I booted into rescue mode using DVD 1, went to a shell and ran:
# fdisk -l /dev/sda
boot .... System
/dev/sda1 * Linux
/dev/sda2 Extended
/dev/sda5 Linux LVM
I wanted to look at grub.cfg so I typed:
# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
cd mnt/grub
nano grub.cfg
Everything looks fine. It does say:
set root='(hd0,msdos1)'
I don't know where the connection between hd0 and sda1 is made, but this seems to work for my other Debian machines.
The BIOS manual for this machine does warn to disable IO APIC to help with "other operating systems." In the BIOS, the location where it is supposed to be is empty. I don't know what APIC has to do with booting, however.
Any ideas on how to get grub to see the debian installation that is on the hard disk from which it was run?
Thanks,
Chris
