Summary: kernel command returns error 18 when grub loads from ntldr.
Original Submission: I'm trying to load Linux from the Win2k bootloader
(NTLDR), via Grub.
I installed grub stage1 onto a floppy using the following commands:
grub> root (hd1,4)
grub> setup (fd0)
grub> quit
setup found my grub files, failed to embbed stage 1.5 and used the following
install command:
install /boot/grub/stage1 d (fd0) /boot/grub/stage2 p /boot/grub/menu.lst
This boot floppy successfully boots, runs stage2, pops up the graphical menu,
with a splash screen and boots Linux from (hd1,4)/bzImage.
Next, I copied this working grub stage 1 from the floppy to my Windows C drive
(using dd) and set up C:\boot.ini to run it from NTLDR.
Grub runs okay from NTLDR and successfully loads stage2, pops up the graphical
menu, with a splash screen, but fails to boot Linux from (hd1,4)/bzImage with
error 18.
This seems strange. How come it can't load bzImage, when it can load the menu &
splash screen just fine from the same partition?
I used the testload command on (hd1,4)/bzImage and it worked fine (the numbers
at the end matched). However, when I execute the kernel command, I get error
18...
grub> kernel (hd1,4)/bzImage root=/dev/hdb7
Error 18: Selected cylinder exceeds max supported by BIOS
I can't find any differences between booting from the floppy MBR & from NTLDR.
The geometry command returns the same numbers, testload returns the same
numbers. It is just that the kernel command fails in the NTLDR case.
Chris.
