GRUB code version : 0.97 Code size : 0x0000005F = 47.5 GRUB code version : 0.97 Code size : 0x000000C7 = 99.5
I have to wonder why the size of the little GRUB code on one drive is twice as large as on the other one.
I wonder too, but I'm guessing it's more data than "code". Here are those from this system: GRUB code version : 0.97 Code size : 0x00000017 = 11.5 KiB GRUB code version : 0.97 Code size : 0x00000015 = 10.5 KiB GRUB code version : 0.95 Code size : 0x00000017 = 11.5 KiB GRUB code version : 0.97 Code size : 0x0000002F = 23.5 KiB GRUB code version : 0.95 Code size : 0x00000017 = 11.5 KiB GRUB code version : 0.95 Code size : 0x0000005F = 47.5 KiB GRUB code version : 0.97 Code size : 0x0000002F = 23.5 KiB
Version .97 has been used since '05, although of course its been patched since. Currently 99.5 KB. See my last post: You are definitely running the /boot/grub/stage2 shell; that's where you have been entering the commands. In your boot manager, do you have entries to boot both disks? If you can get to the grub shell from both and successfully enter the commands, you have no problem with the stage2 code. If you have a problem with the sda stage2 but not sdb's, you can check/copy sda's by looking at /usr/lib/grub/stage2 - that is the file that gets installed, /boot/grub/stage2 is a copy of it. Or reinstall. Again, ref my last post. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
