[Musix-users] HD OK now, but GRUB troubles render PC nearly un-bootable

Sat Nov 4 23:15:08 CET 2006

Hey all:

Thanks for the help in unwinding the trouble with the HD size.  I put a
2.5GB HD in there and presto - no prob.  (BTW, I went back and checked again
just to make double-sure that error says 1GB/128MB for the minimum size of
the partitions for Musix - it does.  To see what I mean, just put the CD in
a computer with less than the required free space and try to start the
old-style Knoppix install.)

OK, now for the GRUB problem.  Trying to boot from HD, GRUB tries to start
and fails with Error 21, whatever that is.  The rescue floppy created when I
installed Musix has only a slightly different version of this problem,
complaining "disk does not exist" when I try to boot Linux.  (Ironically, it
boots Windows just fine!)  The setup is as follows: I have Windows 2000 on
the primary master HD, the primary slave is configured as a FAT32 storage
unit, the secondary master is my DVD drive and the secondary slave contains
Musix.  GRUB is loaded on the MBR of the primary master.  I'm attaching the
menu.lst file from my installation and can show you any other relevant
config files on request.  If someone could look this over and let me know if
anything looks suspicious, I would greatly appreciate it.  I really don't
understand why it isn't working.

Thanks!!!!
