new install, following the instructions to the letter, have installed grub on other machines (so not a confused newbie ;) installed grub-0.93.20030118, as per the instructions, to install this on my first disks partition (not MBR) kept on getting bumped into the grub console, on booting. If i typed in (to the grub console) : kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda3 (my corerect kernel argument) boot (the mising line) this then let me boot my system as expected. I added in the boot line to my grub conf & my PC now boots like it shouldve. Can the install instructions be ammended to mention this boot argument please. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. I have labeled this as normal, but i appreciate a newbie may think it is a blocker issue, although it is just one line
The problem will probably reside elsewhere. The "boot" command is not needed inside the grub.conf file. As mentioned by the GRUB manual: """ Boot the OS/chain-loader which has been loaded. Only necessary if running the fully interactive command-line (it is implicit at the end of a menu entry). """ Can you give us your grub.conf file please?
Time-out. Marking as WORKSFORME.
