Well, without the drivemap command, it doesn't boot up at all... > Did you try without drivemap? Yup. TrueCrypt immediately complains: TrueCrypt Boot Loader Loader Damaged! Use Rescue Disk: [blabla] > You could also try to directly chainload MBR with (hd1) Well, that's the same as "chainloader (hd0,1)/boot/truecrypt.mbr", isn't it? I tried it and they yielded the same result. > Note that there's a difference if you use set root=(hd1,1) chainloader > +1 or just chainloader (hd1,1)+1 The "chainloader (hd1,1)+1" which was what I originally tried does not work at all since (hd1,1) is encrypted at that point and thus grub does not know recognize the file format and won't boot - forcing the chainload with "--force" causes the system to lock up at boot. > So you could also play around a bit with them. > The root device gets into %dl register and so the bootcode can make use > of that one. > If you specify the device inside chainloader command only GRUB itself > knows that one. Note that when I change the boot order in the BIOS to make the Windows Disk the boot disk, the Windows boots up just fine. Is there any way which is more "convincing" than drivemap?
