Also try run grub install and after it please post what contain mbr of partition where grub write stage1 code.
I checked to find as of 30 Dec 21:17 /etc/grub.conf contains 3 lines: setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 --forcelba (hd0,8) (hd0,8) setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 --forcelba (hd1,8) (hd0,8) quit I then ran 'grub-install'. I see the PBR now contains Grub code. The behavior is changed. When I try to use the 10.2 Grub on sda1 to select the following stanzas: title chainload to /dev/hda9 (1 line) chainloader (hd0,8)+1 title chainload2 to /dev/hda9 (2 lines) root (hd0,8) chainloader +1 title chainload3 to /dev/hda9 (noverify 2 line) rootnoverify (hd0,8) chainloader +1 All return me to a (non-gfx) grub menu from sda1. If I drop to Grubs command line and enter 'chainloader (hd0,9)+1' or 'root (hd0,8)' 'chainloader +1' manually, I get error 13. I tried deleting the HPFS sda2 and creating IBM Boot Manager in its place. Selecting the 11.0 md1 or 11.1 md2 partitions returns a "Selected partition is not formatted" message. That message is the usual result of a missing Grub. DFSee confirms the absence of Grub on (hd0,8), so I again did 'dd if=/dev/sda9 of=sda9bs4.bin bs=512 count=1' after rebooting, and the result contains only nulls. So, what I hypothesize is happening is when grub "writes" during setup to a partition that is part of md RAID, it goes to some buffer that gets cleared before reboot instead of actually being written to disk. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
