Ah ok. Is there any emergency command that can rewrite the HD? Or another program that can do that? (I read Grub somewhere in this thread). If I can get over this, I think I'll choose something other than Knoppix as a HD based Linux distro heh.Originally Posted by malaire

Ok, I have Adriane Knoppix 6 installed to my second SCSI drive. I got the same error when appending the Adriane to the /boot/grub/menu.lst which was already working for me.
This is the menu.lst generated by 0wn..
This is the /boot/grub/menu.lst generated by TeenPup Linux and with the 0wn generated entry for Adriane appended.default 0

Second is M$ Windoze 2000
Third is Puppy Linux.
/sda1 is Freespire
All of them boot OK.
SCHEISSE...
I declined to install grub... this last time...
and installed Grub from Puppy linux.
Didn't have the "quiet" option.
SCSI.
At the last part, hundreds of lines of error messages... finally it comes to that.
(hd2,0) is a SCSI drive.
If I recall correctly there's a cheat-code to force recognition of SCSI.
It listed available partitions to boot, but all on IDE.
