https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=351887 Summary: Grub doesn't recognize CD Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: ed-dori-robinov@att.net QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: Customer Page 209 of your openSuse 103 reference you discuss booting from a CDROM. My system has a non bootable USB hard drive that I installed openSuse to and access with INSTLUX. I can't upgrade the kernel because Instlux is kernel dependent and ugrading makes the system non accessible. In attempting to use a CDROM I have been experimenting with Grub. I always end up at the Grub prompt with my boot cdrom attempts. Since the grub came off of the CDROM where I put my INITRD and kernel I figured that it would work if I pursued trying to configure. At the grub prompt you can put in "root (hd" and hit the Tab key which is supposed to give options of what can be seen. Well it only gives (hd0,0). I couldn't use CD at all as described in your documentation. It wouldn't recognize the CD at all even though that is where the grub was located. In another place it stated that grub recogizes hd and fd only. I am at a very low level of computer understanding but when I posted this concern on another group concerning some attempts I was making with freedos someone came back to me that his search showed that grub doesn't recognize the CD. I just want to be able to boot from a CDROM. Is your documentation right or is it impossible for grub to recognize the CDROM for booting. I am thinking about going in an entirely different direction (LILO). -- 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.
