Hello,
My original grub.conf uses hd0,5 as device and /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 as root.
The grub command "setup (hd0)" doesn't work.
When I run "/sbin/grub-install hd0,5" or "/sbin/grub-install /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00", the return is "The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly". And the floppy disk led turns on and I hear the head moving.
Thanks for your time, Vinicius.
This may be one of those tricky ones. Sometimes it goes like this: Insert the CDROM or DVD boot: linux rescue error mounting ... (or whatever) root shell if it won't mount things properly, then ...
# mkdir /mnt # mount <root-device> /mnt # cp -a /dev/* /mnt/dev # chroot /mnt
I hate having to type in full path names :) Source the common profile
# . /etc/profile
That is: dot space /etc/profile
# mount </boot-device> /boot # df -h
to insure that both / and /boot partitions appear to mount -- grub-install needs this
# grub-install --nofloppy --recheck <root-device>
That should fix ya up.
# exit #exit
Will cause a reboot -- remove the disk!
