I ran preupgrade on an ancient Thinkpad T20 which was running Fedora-8. (I hadn't used it for a year or so.) Preupgrade seemed to run OK, but when I re-booted for the second time (ie after installing the upgrade) I got the dreaded GRUB message, which I take to mean that the grub installation has got itself screwed up in some way. I got out my trusty Knoppix-5.1 CD, which saw everything on my hard disk clearly, mounted /dev/hda8 as /mnt/hda8 and /dev/hda2 as /mnt/hda8/boot , and chroot-ed to /mnt.hda8 . But when I ran #grub #grun> root (hd0,1) I got the message Error 21: Selected disk does not exist To cut a long story short, when I ran #/mnt/hda8/sbin/grub I no longer got this message, and was able to install grub with #setup (hd0) Just a story, with no moral.
The disk is called sda (sd0) now, not hda (hd0). -- Sjoerd Mullender -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
