I have three harddisk at my laptop, all with ext2 and ext3 filesystems, one internal and two USB. I would like to install grub in the bootsector of an USB harddisk. If I plugin the USB disk the partions are automatically recognized and mounted, but grub does not recognize the filesystems at hd2: grub> root (hd0, Possible partitions are: Partition num: 0, Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xde Partition num: 1, Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 Partition num: 2, Filesystem type is fat, partition type 0x1c grub> root (hd1, Possible partitions are: Partition num: 0, Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 Partition num: 1, Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x82 Partition num: 2, Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 grub> root (hd2, Possible partitions are: Partition num: 0, Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x83 Partition num: 1, Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x82 Partition num: 2, Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x83 root@guenther:/home/guenther(7)# df Dateisystem Typ 1K‐Blöcke Benutzt Verfügbar Ben% Eingehängt auf /dev/sda2 ext3 54591040 30614788 21158452 60% / varrun tmpfs 512380 92 512288 1% /var/run varlock tmpfs 512380 0 512380 0% /var/lock udev tmpfs 512380 76 512304 1% /dev devshm tmpfs 512380 52 512328 1% /dev/shm lrm tmpfs 512380 1852 510528 1% /lib/modules/2.6.24-24-lpia/volatile /dev/sdb1 ext2 132206 15483 109897 13% /media/disk /dev/sdb3 ext3 74480096 12369932 58356580 18% /media/disk-1 /dev/sde1 ext2 1083488 15312 1013568 2% /media/disk-2 /dev/sde3 ext3 109210020 25615564 78090588 25% /media/disk-3 Any idea?
