I have a system with three hard disks, (hda, hdb and hdd), and a 128MB
compact flash disk, (hdc), with C/H/S 978/8/32, (detected as that by both
the BIOS and the kernel).
Using linux kernel 2.4.22, booting from hdd, I created a type 0x83
partition on the compact flash, using the full size of the disk. I then
formatted it with ext2, copied a minimal linux system to it, chrooted to the
partition, and ran grub.
I issed the commands:
root (hdc,0)
setup (hdc)
Which executed ok, (grub.conf and the relevant stages are in /boot/grub).
However when I boot the compact flash by selecting hdd2 in the BIOS, (being
the third disk), I simply get 'GRUB GRUB' printed to the screen, and no more.
I tried booting the hard disk with the kernel parameter 'hdc=flash', then
chrooting to the flash and installing grub, but this doesn't help.
I have had grub running fine on this same compact flash in this same
motherboard, with a different linux kernel/system utils/grub version, (0.92
I think), before.
Can anyone point out what's going wrong?
Cheers,
