GRUB loader


Recommended Posts

uhh anyone know why would the GRUB loader stop responding on the stage 2 of the loading process.

The distro is red hat linux 7.2, the pc is configured as a workstation. during the hardware selection for the vid card we just use the default 16MB of ram for it.

hardware installed are: Pentium 3? vid card is an ati rage 128 and the rest of the hardware im not too sure about.

LILO works though but i just wanted to know why the grub loader would freeze on this setup.

I haven't played with doing this too much, but you should be able to manually execute a boot from GRUB.

Just hit "c" to enter command mode, then enter the following (I am doing this from memory, so excuse mistakes, and remember the TAB key will suggest completions):

root(hd0,0)

kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 (or wherever your / is located)

boot

I think that will work.... someone correct this if I made errors... :blush:
