Hi,

I have problem very similar to some other users with 2 disks - one for Linux 
and 2nd for Win. Everything was fine with previous setup when I have 2 
UltraATA HDs and lilo.

Now I have a little different setup:
1) SuSE Linux on /dev/sda1  - Seagate Barracuda SATA HD connected to Silicon 
Image SATA PCI Card.
2) Win on /dev/hda1 connected to primary UltraATA bus on m/b.

BIOS was configured to boot from SATA drive first. Basically, there is no 
problem with Linux. Its just boots. For Win YAST bootloader setup utility 
wrote bogus entries, so I edited them manually in YAST -> Boot Loader -> Edit 
configuration files. Grub was installed on /dev/sda, since it is primary boot 
device, /dev/hda time to time is being disconnected.

--------------------------------------------------

/boot/grub/device.map:
(hd0)	/dev/sda
(hd1)	/dev/hda

--------------------------------------------------

/etc/grub.conf
setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 (hd0,0) (hd0,0)
setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 (hd1) (hd0,0)
quit

--------------------------------------------------

/boot/grub/menu.lst

--------------------------------------------------

With the orignal YAST setup attempt to boot into Win results ¨chainloader + 1¨ 
message and nothing else. I have looked into mailing list and forums and have 
modified grub Win entry as listed above. However, booting into Win do not 
work either - just black screen and writing ¨grub error¨. Attempt to switch 
to lilo fail completely - ¨lilo timestamp mismatch¨ message and no boot into 
*ANY* OS.

Anyone have an idea what went wrong?

Thanks in advance

Andrei
