Hallo, Hi, I'm in serious trouble here, can't get grub to boot my box anymore. Instead of showing the grub boot menu, it reboots. The story so far: because of the old 180gig seagate barracuda (scsi) dying, i got my box a new 147gig fujitsu MAW3147NP (also scsi). I shot down the box, connect the new disk as ID 1, fire up the rescue system from suse 10.0 installation media, and created a partition layout on the new disk, similar to what it was on the old one (except for a few size adjustments). Formatted the new partitions with mkfs.xfs, then used xfsdump |xfsrestore to get the data over to the new disk. After shutting down, i disconnected the old disk, configured the new one to ID0, booted the rescue system again, and chrooted into the installation on disk, and did a mount -a which worked just fine, so the partition layout agrees with my old /etc/fstab. Then, I fired up yast to write a boot sector to disk. That worked without error messages. Now, when i try to boot that box, all i get is a short message from grub flashing by which I cant quite read because its gone too fast, and then the box does a reboot. Any ideas what's wrong there? one fact to consider for solving: I don't really need to use grub here, lilo is ok with me too. another fact: when I boot the installation dvd, and go to "other -> start installed system" on the yast screen where you choose between fresh install and upgrade, the box comes up just fine (and after i installed the kernel rpm from the dvd, it even finds all needed modules and does its job like its supposed to be, just with the old kernel). mountpoints: celebrimbor:/boot/grub # cat /etc/fstab /dev/sda1 / xfs defaults 1 1 /dev/sda9 /export xfs defaults 1 2 /dev/sda7 /tmp xfs defaults 1 2 /dev/sda6 /var/log xfs defaults 1 2 /dev/sda8 /var/spool xfs defaults 1 2 /dev/sda5 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/dvd /media/dvd subfs noauto,fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy subfs noauto,fs=floppyfss,procuid,nodev,nosuid,sync 0 0 fdisk -l: celebrimbor:/boot/grub # fdisk -l Platte /dev/sda: 147.0 GByte, 147086327808 Byte 255 Köpfe, 63 Sektoren/Spuren, 17882 Zylinder Einheiten = Zylinder von 16065 × 512 = 8225280 Bytes Gerät boot.
