Re: [PLUG] Finding grub - solved |
Matt, Rich, Never mind. I found a solution. Under advanced settings, there are some more hard drive settings, one of which is labeled "S.M.A.R.T". I have not looked it up and there was no local definition, but disabling it allows grub to boot normally without the error message. Something about monkey's spitting out the complete works of Shakespeare comes to mind. :) Thanks again, Eric Do you have a preferred reference on how to move grub? I did a search and it seemed more complicated than I thought it should be, and of course comes with the warning that doing this could irrecoverably destroy data. Rebuilding the SATA drive would be no hardship, but I do not want to have to rebuild the IDE drive as it would mean finding the older versions of several pieces of software and an old version of the patched kernel it requires. ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
