Hi all,
I have an ext2 partition and grub-legacy is unable to read any of the
files on it. I created another partition and formatted it with ext3,
and grub had no problems.
I understand that grub-legacy is in "bugfix only" mode right now. But
this does seem like it could be a bug.
I am using fedora core 11. It comes with kernel 2.6.30.9-96.fc11.i686.PAE.
I have tried using the grub that ships with Fedora Core 11 and also
the grub-0.97.tar.gz from upstream, but with the same results.
Actually, there was one difference-- the grub from upstream was unable
to read the ext3 partition either!
Here's a sample of the error message:
=================================
grub> root (hd0,1)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
grub> cat (hd0,1)/grub.conf
Error 2: Bad file or directory type
=================================
Anyway. I thought I would mention this.
thanks,
Colin McCabe
