Subject: hd0 grub and kernel mismatches possible solution
Date: Thu, 20 Sep 2007 12:08:16 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <46F24690.5000408@gmail.com> (raw)
You might know from using grub with the linux kernel that sometimes
installers do not have the same idea than the bios or grub about what
hard disk is hd0 and what hard disk is hd1.
I think one solution for live cds or installer cds should be to pass as
a kernel argument the following string:
bios=345344l-34-4,564l64645,455655
Where the first number is the hd0 UUID, the second number the hd1 one
and so on.
Thus we should have a function that prompts this information so that we
could have something like:
title Knoppix 7
root (cd)
kernel /boot/grub/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 bios_drives()
initrd /boot/grub/initrd
boot
I have used bios_drives() but I actually do not know how I am supposed
to use a function ( I do not know its syntax yet.)
What do you think about this solution ?
