Fails how?
After selecting to boot from cdrom in the bios it outputs the following:
Welcome to GRUB!
error: hd111 cannot get C/H/S values.
Enetering rescue mode...
grub rescue>
Then I'm at the rescue prompt.
Looks like your BIOS has problems with cd drive. I attach 2 patches. One
to try to gather more info for better workaround and another one to
basically ignore cdinfo altogether. Could you test them?
The problem is reproducible with SalixLive or a minimal image I've
created for testing purpose, but so far only on that one machine of
mine. You can acquire the latter here:
http://gaia.homelinux.org/misc/grub-test.iso (4.3M)
I've experimented a bit with ls on the rescue prompt here's the output:
ls
(hd0)
ls (hd0)
error: unknown filesystem
If you need anything else, just let me know and I'll try to do my best
to help you.
Regards,
Andreas
