Years of Debian esperience, new to SL, 3rd attempt at installing 5.4.
I specify that grub should be installed in the root partition, in my case
/dev/hda4. I use GAG as pure boot selector, each OS has its own bootload
er
on-partition.
Due to history, /dev/hda4 is the second primary, right after hda1 on the
disk.
I decline to rearrange partition order, and also decline to add other OS'
s
to the SL grub boot menu as proffered by installer.
On 1st boot I consistently find no bootloader on /dev/hda4. Other OS's b
oot
fine.
Booted rescue twice, chrooted to root partition, I see the fileysytem whe
re
it should be - i.e. the system seemingly doesn't get confused by partitio
ns
not being in order.
Attempted this:
grub-install /dev/hda4
I repeatedly get this message:
error reading stage 1
I failed to find references to this on the list.
Is this a known problem?
Did I miss something in the archives?
TIA!
