This doesn't seem unusual to me. Same for me: I have the BIOS set up to boot from the second hard drive, which then becomes (hd0) for GRUB through the BIOS (kinda like what my proposed drivemap module does), but my /boot partition was on the first hard drive, which is now (hd1). Took me a bit to realise things, and I finally had to move around the whole partitioning scheme on the second hard drive to put /boot in there.=20 >=20 >=20 > _______________________________________________ > Grub-devel mailing list > Grub-devel@gnu.org > http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel --=-TAe8uMAS+2R3tzB+0uZT Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: Esta parte del mensaje =?ISO-8859-1?Q?est=E1?= firmada digitalmente -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iQIVAwUASH4C6KSl+Fbdeo72AQLjnxAAxkqpFeHSkGmd+Ct2AcZW++5rbZmKphkT aVNfUOy1aiiF3eOROYIql7UTKJFScO5ktrWlWCUNasXZpsDDop7zihQa6OR3Qvnx XQiw3QNxAqUq8IS1fwK0vxDaSDqgjrVa414w5nWtP3utyoAZI1+sdQJP/LOUkqJo BdNePN6TQVTd6xo++LVyKX9pRQwZP5GVgCBOlNxBnQUOvwDuz5c8O8fO5ie8KGR0 NAKGVrJN7iKbJ8kFuADrRRqJf+z6O/Zsz9aurV8DaglfqsWuxtT0xyiMeN1xbip7 oz0sUa6qtOu5DYo6oyQdZSmFX/X1uoeSPsl3XVx0UkCp3WkE8TJZ0LKvLV7QJIQg wR1oa9GMMoBUl6aw/SEoFe6kCRmnrvneJhudbKaNi7zSc3aYPgeSP8cv0mhOcJub yXk+BNTqMbJBgsIMXJfxapI8qB3mVZ8y0JLjyj9Veg+/qaM7V55g0Kqlln7iJ/5o JfO6RtUuwgD1d7oE5L7J8oA7tW4Yv11Gn4NKM3dnN30+JhNlCqQvtmTind2D465x GltVtCWY/qSGSkw9gHZ6tzEHCPuiBxRJ1tw6KM8ux36w+f+K7pezJbPTreHOx3u7 i8O9MIZ/58SWJoyNdpNlgg4bSAqwR53xO/lOR92XCBJC+nxiGz4vqHa92ZqzLFFH kkST0TIsJ7k= =jW9m -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-TAe8uMAS+2R3tzB+0uZT--
