The subject line is for those who remember Dumbo and the line "I guess I will have seen everything when I see an elephant fly". Well Grub has shown me something I have never seen before so I need help. We have 7 identical machines bought at the same time. They are the Dwarf machines. I have successfully got Dwarf1 and Dwarf7 up and going with FC2. This morning I loaded exactly the same software through untarring an image of Dwarf7 on Dwarf2, 3 and 4. I changed the entries in the hosts, network and ifcfg-eth0 files. I changed the grub.conf so it looks like the ones that work. I will include a copy below. When I run grub-install the all three machines return with the error: the file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly. I copied the whole grub directory from a working machine and got the same error. On another machine I zeroed the boot part of the MBR and got the same error from grub-install. I am clueless. Any help would be appreciated. ============== grub.conf file ========================= # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition.
