I have just moved from 9.0 to 9.1 (headed toward 9.3, hopefully). When I try to boot my machine, I get this error --

Error 18: Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS

Sounds like my grub stage2 is too far down on the disk to allow for a boot. Is there any way to move this up? I seem to recall someone else having a similar problem in the past week, but I'm not sure if it was exactly the same thing. In any case, I didn't really didn't quite understand what was being discussed, but I'm going to try to find that thread. Meanwhile, can someone tell me if there is a quick solution to this?

Thanks and yours truly, Greg Wallace

I forgot to mention. The reason I'm migrating instead of doing fresh installs is that I need to carry my Oracle system with me. I don't know how to back all of that up and get it re-installed from scratch. That's why I'm migrating. I tried jumping from 9.0 to 9.2 and from 9.0 to 9.3, but it doesn't seem to be supported (it said something about no plan for converting packages).
