When I booted in rescue mode and execute grub-install
/dev/hdc (or hdd), it prints this error message (and
return exit code 1):
/dev/hdd7 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.
I presume anaconda must have encountered the same
problem, though it said 'all is well' :-).
(Quick googling does not reveal an easy fix.)
Well first we did exactly the same thing and it
worked with Linux and
Windows both booting. I would agree we need toi be
sure that the grub
was installed on the right drive:
In any case at this point you can use the rescue
disk to install grub
in the MBR.
Just in case the process is as follows:
Boot the rescue disk and at some point it will
identify you linux and
mount it on /mnt/sysimage. Then run a : chroot
/mnt/sysimage
Check on your /boot/grub/grub.conf to see if it is
correct. Both the
linux and Windows can be booted from the grub you
will install in MBR.
Then to do the installation you can do it one of two
ways:
1. grub-install /dev/hda
2. The series of commands:
grub
grub> root (hd0,4) <--- the 4 must be changed if
your linuxis on a
different partition.
grub> setup (hd0)
grub> quit
Although the first option is easier to type the
second works more
consistently. If you don't know how to set up
windows in grub it is
with the lines:
title windows
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
OK. We shall give that a go.
