Suse 8 Enterprise -Ghost-GRUB Error

[vicentell]

Hi Everyone.

I created a image for a Disk Using Ghost the disk has Suse 8 Enterprise Server. At the moment to boot from this disk image I had a error on the screen GRUB. I read on this forum that I should use grub command to repair the image and be able to boot from it.

I did it but I still having the problem below Is what I am doing.




verlinux:~ # cat /boot/grub/device.map
(fd0) /dev/fd0
(hd0) /dev/hda
verlinux:~ # grub-install /dev/hda2
Installation finished. No error reported.
This is the contents of the device map /boot/grub/device.map.
Check if this is correct or not. If any of the lines is incorrect,
fix it and re-run the script `grub-install'.

(fd0) /dev/fd0
(hd0) /dev/hda
verlinux:~ # grub-install --root-directory=/ /dev/hda2

You don't install grub on a partition, you've probably already screwed you image unless there's space reserved for it in the filesystem. Typically you install GRUB in the Master Boot Record on your primary device (primary to the BIOS, not the operating system).

You should install GRUB in /dev/hda, then in your grub.conf tell it to read your root partition from /dev/hda2, then set the appropriate mount points for the OS.
