similar to: Grub Loading stage2Read Error

Hello Everyone, I am a newbie. When I try to install GRUB2 on centos 5.2 system, I get following error. centos5: grub-install /dev/sda //sbin/grub-setup: warn: This GPT partition label has no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding won't be possible!. //sbin/grub-setup: warn: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE

I have a virtual machine that had been running fine using a RAW disk image (IDE). I am in the process of converting this virtual machine to use a single LVM and virtio. (For LVM backup snapshots and easy resizing purposes (no LVM within the guest)) I create the LVM and copied all the files from the existing RAW image to an ext3 under the LVM. However, I cannot get it to boot. It has to do

This adds (basic) support for GRUB stage2 image files. Loading a stage2 image will probably give you a GRUB prompt, with GRUB's "root" set at "(hd0)" (ie, entire first disk). Maybe the "root" will differ in less common setups. (One can of course select another disk and/or partition with GRUB's "root" command.) This has only been tested with version

I am trying to upgrade my system from 500GB drives to 1TB. I was able to partition and sync the raid devices, but I cannot get the new drive to boot. This is an old system with only IDE ports. There is an added Highpoint raid card which is used only for the two extra IDE ports. I have upgraded it with a 1TB SATA drive and an IDE-SATA adapter. I did not have any problems with the system

Can anyone recommend one to run under CentOS? Dnk Sent from my iPhone

Hi, I installed centos 4 on a P4, configured it (and it booted fine here) then sent it to the DC to be put in a P3 but it won't boot, displays GRUB and halts. The DC guys tried grub-install in rescue mode but still the same. Any clues? Is there some difference between P3 and P4? thanks tom

hey guys, I just created a custom netboot cd, that launches and loads from a http source, but connects to a vnc listening viewer. All in all, not hard to do, but what is different with this one is that it skips the media check, has no prompts and allows you to start the install on a machine that has no keyboard/mouse/monitor. Was handy for me as when i have some boxes to load, I just

I never thought I'd say this, but I think it's easier to do this with GRUB 2. Anyway I did an installation to raid1's in CentOS 6's installer, which still uses GRUB legacy. I tested removing each of the two devices and it still boots. These are the commands in its log: : Running... ['/sbin/grub-install', '--just-copy'] : Running... ['/sbin/grub',

- Ahh OK now I see why I was confused. The originally posted partition map uses cylinders as units, not LBA. I missed that. Cylinder 1 is the same as LBA 63. And that is sufficiently large for a GRUB legacy stage 2. - OK this is screwy. Partitions 1 and 3 on both drives have the same number of sectors, but partitions 2 differ: /dev/hde2 401,625 975,691,709 975,290,085 fd Linux

There's grub 0.97 on CentOS 5. The manual at http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/index.html says it is for 0.97. However, it mentions for instance a program grub-set-default that is not present in grub-0.97-13.2. It also mentions grub.conf options savedefault and fallback. Are these available in the CentOS grub? I tried with savedefault and it does not create a

I'm trying to load CentOS 6.3 on a used server based on a Tyan Tomcat n3400b motherboard. The first 2 drives are configured as a RAID mirror in the BIOS and the remaining 4 drives are not configured but apparently still have RAID metadata on them. I hadn't yet figured out how to fix that but went ahead and loaded the OS on the mirrored set. After pulling out a drive from the unused

Paths in grub.conf are relative to the filesystem containing it. grub parsing currently assumes that it is on /boot, and will fail if it isn't, for example because a guest only has a single partition. This patch makes grub parsing work harder to work out what grub paths are relative to. Firstly, it looks for a previous detected 'linux-grub' filesystem. If this isn't found, it

Good afternoon from Singapore, I need SERIOUS help on GRUB in CentOS 7.5 1804. Please refer to my installation notes at?http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-chat/2018-October/028964.html According to Petros' instructions, I need GRUB Legacy 0.97 for my Extremely Simple Linux. But GRUB Legacy 0.97 has been deprecated in CentOS 7.5. GRUB2 is installed by default on CentOS 7.5. So

Hi, What's the proper/normal way of setting up GRUB for a CentOS 6 installation that boots using UEFI? I've recently set up such a system, but for technical reasons I mentioned in an earlier post, I booted in "legacy" mode during installation, which meant I didn't get the correct UEFI boot configuration, and had to set it up subsequently "by hand". I've

Dear All: I am having trouble trying to dual-boot VMware and Linux, and I tried everything I could come up with. The situation is that /dev/sda is fully used by VMware and /dev/sdb is used by Linux. VMware uses Syslinux, so I thought this would be simple... However, it is not. The bootable FAT partition is too smal to have kernels in it. As a fallback I tried to chain-load GRUB, but that did not
