Grub has made a guess as to which drive to call hd0. Perhaps it guessed |
| 37 |
wrong? |
| 38 |
running: |
| 39 |
grub |
| 40 |
find /boot/grub/stage1 |
| 41 |
will tell where grub sees the specified file |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Unrelated thought: |
| 45 |
if you had an inode_size problem the error would be: |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
grub> setup (hd1) |
| 48 |
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... no |
| 49 |
Checking if "/grub/stage1" exists... no |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
Error 2: Bad file or directory type |
