Oct 07 21:50:05 * Sophomore (~Prototype@59.92.143.220) has joined #Linux Oct 07 21:50:17 hey, he's back Oct 07 21:50:38 was ist? Oct 07 21:50:45 * Semaphore gives channel operator status to Sophomore Oct 07 21:50:47 how'd the restart go? Oct 07 21:50:57 not well. I h8 grub >_< Oct 07 21:51:02 inquiring linux minds want to know Oct 07 21:51:06 ugh, grub issues eh Oct 07 21:51:09 "GRUB Hard Disk Error" Oct 07 21:51:10 yeah Oct 07 21:51:18 ah, I haven't seen that one befoer Oct 07 21:51:26 but I see it maintains the nice and fucking vague tradition Oct 07 21:51:36 mostly because knoppix 5.2 with its 2.6.19.5 kernel and all-generic-ide has a different interpretation of BIOS drive numbers than the BIOS itself Oct 07 21:51:41 I fucking hate grub. Oct 07 21:52:03 did you get it to work? Oct 07 21:52:10 I think the grub authors should be pummelled in the face with baseball bats until they are either dead or willing to provide a proper set of error messages Oct 07 21:52:13 did you use the famous grub floppy to determine grub drive order? Oct 07 21:52:13 no Oct 07 21:52:15 * JonathanXavier (~JonathanX@c-69-251-160-210.hsd1.md.comcast.net) has left #Linux Oct 07 21:52:24 I have no idea what that is. Oct 07 21:52:25 can you get into the grub shell? Oct 07 21:52:25 Sophomore: this is probably recoverable. Oct 07 21:52:31 johnf: no. Oct 07 21:52:32 Sophomore: you boot grub off a floppy so it's using the bios Oct 07 21:52:37 figure out what each drive is Oct 07 21:52:45 and then you can update the device mapping on your linux install. Oct 07 21:52:52 well, I already know the proper device mapping Oct 07 21:52:53 or, just reinstall from the floppy. Oct 07 21:53:00 grub in knoppix refuses to use said device mapping Oct 07 21:53:10 you should be using grub from your chroot, always. Oct 07 21:53:11 because grub is an asstastic piece of shit Oct 07 21:53:15 always, always, always, always. Oct 07 21:53:18 no, that doesn't work. Oct 07 21:53:22 how does that not work? Oct 07 21:53:25 you need to use --root-directory=/blah Oct 07 21:53:28 i've only done it a billion times. Oct 07 21:53:31 no. Oct 07 21:53:32 because it depends on /etc/mtab. Oct 07 21:53:33 yes. Oct 07 21:53:34 no. Oct 07 21:53:37 yes. Oct 07 21:53:39 no. Oct 07 21:53:44 yes ad nauseam Oct 07 21:53:44 waht the fuck did you run? Oct 07 21:53:57 grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/sda1 /dev/sda Oct 07 21:54:07 root-directory takes care of the chrooting Oct 07 21:54:15 inside the chroot it can't figure out what /boot is Oct 07 21:54:23 despite the fact that /proc and /dev are --bind mounted Oct 07 21:54:29 and /etc/mtab has an entry. Oct 07 21:54:29 * eggauah (~daniel@201.82.45.179) has joined #Linux Oct 07 21:54:32 as does /etc/fstab. Oct 07 21:54:35 it's just too stupid Oct 07 21:54:53 I've actually NEVER been able to get grub to install from within a chroot, and I've ALWAYS had to use --root-directory Oct 07 21:54:57 i didn't mtab inside /usr/sbin/grub-install. Oct 07 21:55:00 didn't find, that is. Oct 07 21:55:06 and you shouldn't use it once grub is is installed Oct 07 21:55:10 well, it does something that plain doesn't work Oct 07 21:55:16 can you start typing in English? Oct 07 21:55:18 chroot in, run /sbin/grub, and run setup from within the shell. Oct 07 21:55:24 ugh Oct 07 21:55:34 grub-install is supposed to be the "right" way Oct 07 21:55:35 that is, in fact, what grub-setup does to install the bootloader. Oct 07 21:55:42 what grub-setup? Oct 07 21:55:45 grub-install. Oct 07 21:55:51 stop being such a lordhumper. Oct 07 21:56:42 btw I did install using the grub shell. Oct 07 21:56:45 the issue is this Oct 07 21:57:02 I booted off the CDROM Oct 07 21:57:08 so my PATA hard disk became 0x80 Oct 07 21:57:21 and my SATA hard disk (<-- the one with the install) became 0x81 Oct 07 21:57:34 when I'm booting off the hard disk the BIOS maps it to 0x80. Oct 07 21:57:45 this means that even the grub floppy won't get it right. Oct 07 21:57:47 right, fine. so you can fix that, but you're not goign to be doing it with grub-install. Oct 07 21:57:52 yes, it will. Oct 07 21:57:56 the grugb floppy uses the BIOS mappings Oct 07 21:57:59 how can it use anything else? Oct 07 21:58:00 what I need to do is to tell grub, look here, dipshit, THIS drive is going to be 0x80. Oct 07 21:58:15 the bios mappings differ based on what drive you're booting off. Oct 07 21:58:25 if you boot off a removable it's according to PCI scan Oct 07 21:58:35 if it boots off one of the hard disks my BIOS maps THAT to 0x80 Oct 07 21:58:38 * [var]osx has quit (Quit: [var]osx) Oct 07 21:58:39 to make windows happy. Oct 07 21:58:47 hence why the grub floppy will not work Oct 07 21:58:49 you can still map from withing the floppy. Oct 07 21:58:55 because the mappings it sees are incorrect Oct 07 21:59:05 if so I can do it from the grub shell within knx too Oct 07 21:59:09 no floppy required. Oct 07 21:59:14 and passing the d to the installer should make it irrelevant anyway. Oct 07 21:59:26 speak english pls Oct 07 21:59:29 in conclusion Oct 07 21:59:31 grub sucks Oct 07 21:59:36 yes. yes it does. Oct 07 21:59:45 johnf: the grub installer sucks, the rest of it is fine Oct 07 21:59:46 Sophomore: build a valid, correct, sane device.map Oct 07 21:59:50 I swear, I haven't had half the issues with lilo that I've had with grub. sigh. Oct 07 21:59:54 Noth++ Oct 07 21:59:57 Noth: nah, I'm inclined to disagree Oct 07 21:59:59 LordHunter317: it is a valid, correct, sane device.map. Oct 07 22:00:03 it sucks, it's installer sucks more Oct 07 22:00:08 LordHunter317: the problem is with grub itself Oct 07 22:00:09 Sophomore: post it. Oct 07 22:00:22 LordHunter317: when I do setup (hd0,1) it doesn't refer to device.map. Oct 07 22:00:25 johnf: ah so you're taking the lh stance that everything sucks and you're just trying to decide on the level of sucktitude? Oct 07 22:00:28 LordHunter317: it goes straight to the BIOS Oct 07 22:00:37 LordHunter317: figures out, oh, this doesn't have stage1 Oct 07 22:00:42 LordHunter317: and gives up Oct 07 22:00:52 LordHunter317: even though at boot time, that device IS what will have it Oct 07 22:00:53 Sophomore: what the flying fuck are you talking about? Oct 07 22:01:06 * OmegaBLK (~malloc@71-9-38-182.dhcp.wsco.ca.charter.com) has joined #Linux Oct 07 22:01:10 in Linux, device.map is always used and preferred Oct 07 22:01:12 Noth: he didn't exactly invent that stance Oct 07 22:01:16 you can tell it any mappings you fucking please. Oct 07 22:01:19 and it will obey them. Oct 07 22:01:24 johnf: no, but he's the most vocal about it around here Oct 07 22:01:25 LordHunter317: not when setting up evidently. Oct 07 22:02:33 that's not waht the documentation implies. Oct 07 22:02:40 and without showing me exaclty what you ran, it's hard to tell Oct 07 22:02:43 or the map file, for that matter. Oct 07 22:02:56 I can't paste immediately right now Oct 07 22:03:01 give me ten minutes Oct 07 22:03:02 windi: your russian friend are sending me more spam than ever to my work address Oct 07 22:03:04 tell them to stop Oct 07 22:03:10 or I will be forced to make an example of you Oct 07 22:03:41 (at least wierd unicode characters sort last, it makes it easy to remove them) Oct 07 22:03:51 it's immensely annoying to do all this shit because knoppix has zero evms support oob and my wonderful 256/64 means it takes fucking ages to apt-get update so I can finally install evms Oct 07 22:04:05 you used evms? Oct 07 22:04:14 for my root and home fses, yes Oct 07 22:04:17 for /boot, no Oct 07 22:04:41 (well, in the sense that it's a compatibility volume inside evms, but as far as anything else is concerned it's a regular partition with ext3) Oct 07 22:05:01 forgive me, compatability volume? Oct 07 22:05:05 where do you mount it out of? Oct 07 22:05:13 i.e. not a native EVMS volume Oct 07 22:05:17 is it a EVMS volume, a lvm volume, something else? Oct 07 22:05:24 it shows up as /dev/evms/sda2 Oct 07 22:05:25 yea, you lost me too Oct 07 22:05:25 because I know you were talking about growing and shit, right? Oct 07 22:05:30 it's a regular PC partition. Oct 07 22:05:36 /boot is specifically Oct 07 22:05:49 / and /home are LVM2 volumes managed by EVMS. Oct 07 22:06:01 ah, I see Oct 07 22:07:23 debian's grub has evms support Oct 07 22:07:43 so it can handle evms volumes as well as "compatibility" ones according to the boot guide on evms.sf.net Oct 07 22:08:03 er, no, the reference was on wiki.debian.org Oct 07 22:08:09 regarding doing an EVMS install Oct 07 22:10:18 hmm, but you don't really need the EVMS support Oct 07 22:10:27 as the volumes are LVM2, they're just managed by EVMS Oct 07 22:10:28 right? Oct 07 22:10:32 lvm would've been sufficient. Oct 07 22:10:34 yes Oct 07 22:10:46 in any case, I have no doubt I'd have seen the same issue with lvm Oct 07 22:10:47 of course, none of this is getting you closer to running grub Oct 07 22:10:58 since at this stage it's nowhere near even hitting the root fs Oct 07 22:11:17 and as far as grub is concerned /boot is a regular 1980s partition Oct 07 22:11:48 I miss the 80s Oct 07 22:11:54 things were simpler then Oct 07 22:12:02 of course, I was < 12, so that probably helped Oct 07 22:12:21 I feel as if I should just set up a GPT on this thing and go elilo Oct 07 22:12:29 my bios supports UEFI Oct 07 22:12:44 Fancy pants. Oct 07 22:12:59 hmm Oct 07 22:13:03 that probably has a better chance of working :p Oct 07 22:13:04 I guess that means mine does too Oct 07 22:13:14 yeah, it's an option in the BIOS setup Oct 07 22:14:14 Same mb? Oct 07 22:14:35 very similar Oct 07 22:14:40 i have mATX Oct 07 22:14:42 soph does Oct 07 22:14:45 doesn't Oct 07 22:15:03 wow, the E2160 even has EM64T Oct 07 22:15:10 nub. Oct 07 22:15:17 does ti have vt? Oct 07 22:15:18 It's Intel 64! Oct 07 22:15:25 yes, E2160 is just missing VT and a huge chunk of cache Oct 07 22:15:27 I don't think so. Oct 07 22:15:31 ah, that's it Oct 07 22:15:33 E4xxx doesn't. Oct 07 22:15:36 cache is for nubs Oct 07 22:15:43 ;) Oct 07 22:15:54 hmm, there doesn't seem to be much I can do to speed boot on this Oct 07 22:16:08 cache probably matters very little for streaming video processing, but I'm not sure Oct 07 22:16:27 So it wouldn't make sense for the pentium e's to have vt... of course, asking intel's product line to make sense might be asking a bit much. Oct 07 22:16:27 probably depends, playback, doubtful Oct 07 22:16:43 cbaoth: /intel/any tech company/ Oct 07 22:17:00 ref: ATI, AMD, Nvidia, etc... Oct 07 22:17:06 oh boy Oct 07 22:17:08 encoding also probably doesn't need much cache; just needs to keep the processor fed Oct 07 22:17:13 Streaming data, so you just want your codec + glue to fit in cache. Oct 07 22:17:20 UAW may be striking against chrysler next... ;_; Oct 07 22:17:34 this box doesn't do anything other than play video Oct 07 22:17:38 I may be crossing some picket lines to get to work Oct 07 22:17:54 though I may find a way to use that powerhouse of a proc a bit more Oct 07 22:18:04 johnf: the E2160 is just for the frontend? Oct 07 22:18:10 yeah Oct 07 22:18:13 diskless frontend Oct 07 22:18:19 johnf: 1080p 'movies' Oct 07 22:18:35 cbaoth: to my SD tv? Oct 07 22:18:39 Yes. Oct 07 22:18:48 Over composite.

Oct 07 22:37:22 /anyway/ Oct 07 22:37:22 I had no idea grub shell was too retarded to be able to automatically use /boot/grub/device.map[ Oct 07 22:37:26 as a backup Oct 07 22:37:31 yugami: lots of travel soon though Oct 07 22:37:33 should be fun Oct 07 22:37:35 you can try running within the shell: Oct 07 22:38:12 # Oct 07 22:38:13 install /grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+16 p (hd0,1)/grub/stage2 /grub/menu Oct 07 22:38:13 # Oct 07 22:38:18 whoops, sorry, one sec Oct 07 22:38:47 that's kind of what it ran itself :p Oct 07 22:38:54 install /grub/stage1 d (hd1) (hd1)1+16 p (hd1,1)/grub/stage2 /grub/menu.lst Oct 07 22:38:59 note how I added the 'd' Oct 07 22:39:02 hd1? Oct 07 22:39:06 hd0. Oct 07 22:39:14 Semaphore: this is from before, when it wasn't using the device.map. Oct 07 22:39:40 'd' tells grub to not just look at the drive it booted off, but to search for where it ought to be. Oct 07 22:39:50 grub> install /grub/stage1 d (hd0) (hd0)1+16 p (hd0,1)/grub/stage2 /grub/menu.> Oct 07 22:39:50 grub> Oct 07 22:39:54 no news is good news? Oct 07 22:39:58 well, yes. Oct 07 22:40:02 k Oct 07 22:40:16 anyway, as I was going to say,running it wiht that 'd' with or without the device.map ought to fix it if the device.map by itself didn't. Oct 07 22:40:22 as it changes the searching. Oct 07 22:40:29 hopefully this works, though. Oct 07 22:40:36 time to give it the old college try Oct 07 22:40:38 brb Oct 07 22:40:53 ok, i ought to be here for a minute or two when you come back. Oct 07 22:45:10 you need to do a /name LordHumper Oct 07 22:45:23 pretty sure my gf would agree with that. Oct 07 22:45:49 well, it managed to get to stage2 Oct 07 22:46:13 now when I try to boot the kernel grub bitches about not being able to find the root fs (which is on lvm) Oct 07 22:46:50 i'ts probably trying to set the root to / instead of /boot Oct 07 22:46:54 which you can fix. Oct 07 22:47:03 ? Oct 07 22:48:05 the grub 'root' command is superflorous to booting the kernel. Oct 07 22:48:17 it's actually not necessary for anything, it just saves you from absolute paths. Oct 07 22:48:28 still not following you Oct 07 22:48:36 what iscommand is grub failing on? Oct 07 22:48:37 you put / on lvm? Oct 07 22:48:40 a 'root' command Oct 07 22:48:44 or the 'kernel' command? Oct 07 22:48:46 it's not a syntax issue. Oct 07 22:48:54 "Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition." Oct 07 22:49:03 but on what line? Oct 07 22:49:29 it lists both Oct 07 22:49:50 the root line, followed by grub saying "this is partition type 0x8e) Oct 07 22:49:52 followed by Oct 07 22:49:54 the kernel line Oct 07 22:50:00 then "Error 17". Oct 07 22:50:02 hm. Oct 07 22:50:03 and the root line is? Oct 07 22:50:07 I may have the root line wrong Oct 07 22:50:08 let me go check Oct 07 22:50:11 that;'s what I'm telling you. Oct 07 22:50:21 root is likely pointing to the / partition, not /boot Oct 07 22:50:23 you're clear as mud, has anyone told you that? Oct 07 22:50:23 point it at /boot Oct 07 22:50:41 Sophomore: the 'root' grub command is equivalent to 'cd' for grub, ok? Oct 07 22:50:59 you don't even have to use it.
