What does that mean?
What's in your /boot/grub/device.map ?
Perhaps you could try "grub-install --recheck"?
Nope. I removed my old drive, jumpered the new on as master and started FC3 #1 with 'linux rescue'. Then I tried to configure grub:
# grub grub> root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
grub> setup (hd0) Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... no Checking if "/grub/stage1" exists... yes Checking if "/grub/stage2" exists... yes Checking if "/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes Running "embed /grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"... 16 sectors are embedded. succeeded Running "install /grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+16 p (hd0,0)/grub/stage2 /grub/grub.conf"... succeeded Done.
grub> quit
Everthing seems to be fine after a reboot (I even see my three kernels in the boot menu).
Booting 'Fedora Core (2.6.11-1.14_FC3)' ... fsck.ext3: Nicht möglich »LABEL=/boot« aufzulösen
It's not possible to find »LABEL=/boot«. My fstab looks like this (unchanged):
# cat /etc/fstab # This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 ...
If I change LABEL=/boot to /dev/hda1 everthing works fine, but I think that's not the solution, because I don't want to change the default setup of FC3.
Shouldn't Grub find stage1 in '/boot/grub/stage1' (it says: Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... no)?
I believe grub takes the wrong configuration, but how do I configure this correctly?
Grub is right. You have a separate /boot partition, so the file it's looking for is in /grub/stage1, which it finds correctly.
The problem you have is that you created the new /boot filesystem manually and didn't label it as "/boot". You can fix this using tune2fs:
# tune2fs -L /boot /dev/hda1
