Hi everyone. Any ideas how I can sort out a GRUB problem? I have just loaded up SuSE 10 on a PC. However, after installation and reboot (in readiness for passwords to entered etc) I get Error 18. Now, I understand this to be to do with limits being exceeded on the hard drive. I thought this was only supposed to happen with drives of about 8gb on older PC's? This is an oldish PC but not that old. It is running a Pentium 3 of around 800 or 900mhz with 128mb of RAM (this is to be increased to around 750mb) The hard drive is a lowly 6.4gb.
Any ideas? I have run system repair from the DVD by the way but it still comes up with Error 18
From what I read, if you can move the boot partition to within the first 1023 cyls, it might cure the problem. Did you put the boot cyl last?
