Grub error 2, stage 1.5

[fingers99]

Try removing the lines 'savedefault' and 'boot' . I also use grub but I don't have those lines in my menu.lst. Refer to the sample menu.lst on the 'doc' folder of your grub source directory.

Did that. Same result.

what is your partitions configuration, like which is the boot partition, which is root partition etc. or more specifically, which parititon /boot/* refers to ?


root@molehole:/home/knoppix# cat /proc/partitions
major minor #blocks name

8 0 62592 sda | usb
8 1 62512 sda1 | usb
22 0 9999864 hdc
22 1 24066 hdc1

3 2 488376 hda2 | swap
3 3 21955248 hda3 | ext3 (will become /home)

hdc3 is all SuSE.

OK, I've given up on Grub. I've got a version of lilo.conf which /sbin/lilo seems to find acceptable by editing out all references to SuSE (this is the one which I used to run from SuSE to boot 3.1 and SuSE). So, how do I purge the evil Grub from my mbr? (see other post)
