bamboccio Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Hi, I have to HD, the first one with XP and the second with Mandriva. Since 10 I use Grub on the second hard Disk to dual boot with joy but since the ugrade from 2008.0 to 2008.1 Linux still boots fine but Win XP fails with the error: Fylesystem type unknwon partition type 0x7 root(hd1,0) chainloader +1 My configuration is below (the boot devices in bios are 1: Disabled 2:CDRom 3: HD1) more /boot/grub/device.map (fd0) /dev/fd0 (hd0) /dev/hdb (hd1) /dev/hda more /boot/grub/menu.lst timeout 10 color black/cyan yellow/cyan gfxmenu (hd0,0)/boot/gfxmenu default 3 title linux kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz BOOT_IMAGE=linux root=UUID=2e65ecfa-017d-4ef2-be2b- 565e51004141 noapic nolapic splash=silent vga=788 initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd.img title linux-nonfb kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz BOOT_IMAGE=linux-nonfb root=UUID=2e65ecfa-017d-4ef2 -be2b-565e51004141 noapic nolapic initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd.img title failsafe kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz BOOT_IMAGE=failsafe root=UUID=2e65ecfa-017d-4ef2-be 2b-565e51004141 failsafe initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd.img title windows root (hd1,0) makeactive chainloader +1 more /etc/fstab # Entry for /dev/hdb1 : UUID=2e65ecfa-017d-4ef2-be2b-565e51004141 / ext3 defaults 1 1 # Entry for /dev/hdb6 : UUID=a0e03146-2f84-11d9-9539-bd101a5d4ac3 /home ext3 defaults 1 2 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 # Entry for /dev/hdb7 : UUID=e74e38d5-70ce-4e14-ba68-4ef35e63dc52 /usr ext3 defaults 1 2 # Entry for /dev/hdb5 : UUID=5006b93e-275b-4b73-9b51-9105788e800a swap swap defaults 0 0 # Entry for /dev/hda1 : UUID=646C81856C8152AA /media/hd ntfs-3g defaults 0 0 # Entry for /dev/hda5 : UUID=D0303539303527BC /media/hd2 ntfs-3g defaults 0 0 # Entry for /dev/hda6 : UUID=1A9C3C089C3BDD47 /media/hd3 ntfs-3g defaults 0 0 Anyone any ideas?

bamboccio Posted April 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Fixed adding this lines to the Windows entry: map (hd0) (hd1) map (hd1) (hd0) I suppose this is a bug in 2008.1 as I never did to manually edit that. Note that also before 2008.1 bootdrake was automatically recognizing thw windows disk and adding the entry automatically. With 2008.1 I had to add it manually...

CygnusX1 Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 (edited) i'm getting the same error. i have windows installed on a raid 1 array. would i need to change the added lines to sda and sdb or should i use the /mnt entry (mapper/nvidia......) which is the entry in grub? thanks for your help.

scarecrow Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Adding these entries by hand is quite straighforward- since I'm currently dualbooting XP and Linux in two different HD's and using a DYI distro I've already done it several times. Actually the real bug is using fancy GUI's (in that case: the messed up and disfunctional mcc) for doing some simple tasks. It may be logical to think that a graphical admin tool will automagically sniff every little nuisance in your system and set it up for you- however, quite frequently this is not the case, as you've already found out... Installing Linux at a software RAID array is a very different beast, and certainly enough not such a simple task, even for experienced Linux users. More information is needed (RAID structure, bootloader used, mandriva version...). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
