Has anyone tried the dvds of R1 ?. Also i used jfs as the filesystem.
Never tried jfs for / or /boot (i.e. the boot partition). I guess, it is ok if jfs module is in initrd or built into kernel.
Yet another strangeness:
installed debian Sarge on hd0,5 installed grub on hd0 system boots normally, everything fine. Change disk to hd1 (primary slave) change bios boot to ide1 (which means hd1 in grubspeak) grub come up edit root(hdo,4) to (hd1,4) and root=/dev/hda5 to /dev/hdb5 grub does not find the kernel image change hd1 back to hd0 and grub finds kernel image but no initrd. So switch back to ide0 and boot then edit menu.lst to reflect the propsed switch to primary slave. Grubs fails to find kernel image. now edit root(hd1,4) to (hd0,4) and everything works fine. ??????
Interesting experiment. I guess, hd0, hd1 (grub speak) is reflective of the order of the boot device in the BIOS.
Under above setup, what does "fdisk -l" output?
