Package: grub
Version: 0.94+cvs200405
Extrange problem today. My partition table was:
hda1 (windogXP NTFS)
hda2 ( hda5(ext3) hda6(woody ext3) hda7(swap))
hda3 (ext3 sarge)
I reinstalled windogXP and formated hda1 with NTFS again. Windog changed
partitions numbers like this:
hda1 (windogXP NTFS)
hda2 (ext3 sarge)
hda3 ( hda5(ext3) hda6(woody ext3) hda7(swap))
I can boot my woody partition as usual:
#########################
title Debian GNU/Linux-2.6.4
kernel (hd0,5)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.4 root=/dev/hda6 ro
#########################
but the problem arises when I try to boot my sarge partition (Changed
for the new partition numbers):
#########################
title Debian Sarge
kernel (hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.5-1-386 root=/dev/hda2 ro
initrd (hd0,1)/boot/initrd.img-2.6.5-1-386
#########################
The kernel boots ok, but kernel stops trying to mount /dev/hda3
instead of /dev/hda2. It seems that grub does not pass the right kernel
parameter "root=/dev/hda2"
I have tried lilo and works. Also tried a Debian CDROM number 1 with the
rescue command with good results. Grub fails.
Hope this helps to find a possible bug. If you need more information I
will be pleased sending it to you.
Thank you.
Ramiro .
