I've created a CD with grub on, & I get the menu OK, but trying to actually boot gives me 'error 25: disk read error'. Hitting 'c' for the command line and typing the commands in the grub.conf verbatim (below: root, kernel & initrd) followed by 'boot' works though.
Chaining to the hard-drive copy of the config file ('configfile (hd0,4)/grub/grub.conf') gets the menu OK again, but has exactly the problems.
Why might there be a difference?
default 0 prompt 1 splashimage (hd0,4)/grub/splash.xpm.gz timeout 4
title Linux root (hd0,4) kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 initrd /initrd.img
