[Buildroot] Grub not working?

[Buildroot] Grub not working?

[Alexander Rigbo]

Hi,

I'm making a small system for a pc/104 computer, but i'm having some troubles 
with grub.
Grub is built and installed to my root, but i can't use it to install the 
bootloader to MBR. See following output:

grub> root (hd0,1)
 Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
grub> setup (hd0)
 Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... no
 Checking if "/grub/stage1" exists... no

Error 15: File not found

But, on hda2 (my root partition) i have:

[root at uclibc grub]# ls -l /boot/grub/stage1
-rwxr-xr-x     1 root      root             512 Dec 13 03:25 /boot/grub/stage1

What can this be?
Grub bug? uClibc bug? buildroot? my fault (most likely though)?

Alexander

Only one partition ? (hd0,1) is your rootfs or your /boot partition ?

I have had lot of problem with grub on wrap plateform. Now I use lilo
for x86 processor family.

Hi,

I have a swap on hda1, hda2 is my root (/) and i have no other partitions. 
I've been using this setup with grub before, just not uclibc/buildroot.

I will try lilo, but i like grub better :)
