Re: PcSperaker beeping on grub

After installing grub from the installation disk, change to another console and look at the grub configuration file (/mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst), I guess. Try to paste it here

Re: PcSperaker beeping on grub

the conten of menu.lst is the folowing

hd0,0 is the boot partition
hd0,1 is the swap partiition
hd0,2 is the root partition
hd1 is my backup drive
hd2 is the sata drive where grub is installed into the mbr "sda"

i guess i have to change the root line right?

from hd0,0 to hd0,2

Re: PcSperaker beeping on grub

I not realy solved it but now i am able to boot

i reinstall grub to my ide master and changed the boot order in the bios

now it works but it's more like a workaround
