Here's what the GRUB documentation says: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
31 : File is not sector aligned |
| 15 |
This error may occur only when you access a ReiserFS partition by |
| 16 |
block-lists (e.g. the command `install'). In this case, you should |
| 17 |
mount the partition with the `-o notail' option. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Now that's strange. It appears that if you use the hosted version of |
| 20 |
GRUB, it doesn't access the filesystem directly but uses blocklists |
| 21 |
instead. If you repeat the exact same grub commands from your boot |
| 22 |
floppy (hit "c" to get to the command line), it will work. I may need |
| 23 |
to switch the docs back to the old method of installing GRUB, i.e. |
| 24 |
rebooting with the CD, hitting "c" and typing the commands in. |
| 25 |

Let me know if my suggestion works. |
