Reiser, eh? Some versions of grub have a problem with reiser's tail |
7 |
packing. Make sure you mount the filesystem notail. If you aren't |
8 |
already doing this, 'touch' all the files on boot once it is mounted |
9 |
notail; you could also do this just to be safe. If you touch all the |
10 |
files, particularly the stage files, you should rerun 'grub-install' or go |
11 |
through your standard process for installing grub on the MBR. |

Grub ignores that anyway. |

Well, make sure your grub.conf / menu.lst file matches the grub command |
21 |
line you are giving. Also, make sure there aren't any stray characters |
22 |
(e.g. Ctrl-A or Ctrl-@) in the grub.conf / menu.lst |
