RE: GRUB fails to boot Win98

[Graham Smith]

Okuji,

As requested I downloaded and built GRUB from the CVS repository at 10:15 
pm (British Summer Time) tonight.  Including the debug statement and 
booting into Windows from a GRUB boot floppy gave the additional output:

Reading the offset 0x80 in the drive 0x0

and the boot completed successfully.

When booting from GRUB installed on the hard drive I obtained the message:

Reading the offset 0x80 in the drive 0x1a0b9a4

and a new error message which read:

Error 18: Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS

regards
Graham

Sure. First, please get the current version from the CVS. Then compile
it and test it both with a floppy and with a hard disk. When testing
it, turn on the debug mode by running the command "debug". Now the
command "boot" should show more messages, like "reading the offset
0x???? in the drive 0x??". Let me know what is displayed.

Thanks,
Okuji
