Bug of ML1.2 pre4b. Help!

linhuchong · 发表于 2003-10-16 23:39:15

I tested ML1.2 pre4b on such a machine:
Motherboard: P4E/P4ES
CPU:       celeron 2.0G
video card:  TNT2
mem:       256 DDR
HD:       HD1, 40G maxtor
         HD2, 20G WD

HD1 is running W2K. HD2 is running linux.

I partitioned HD2 into three parts: / (ext3), swap, and a working directory /work (ext2). All my personel stuff is in /work, so I can keep these stuff intact when I make a fresh installation.

I downloaded ML1.2 pre4b from Jackey's ftp.

In installation process, / and swap are formatted, but /work partition is left unchanged.

The installation looks fine, no any problems except that the installation is much slower than ML1.1. GRUB is installed into MBR.

But when I boot up the machine when the installation is finised, the system stops at "GRUB". I can not event bootup the machine by floppy disk! (In BIOS setting, floppy is the first boot device)

I use KNOPPIX boot up the computer, checked the grub.conf, it looks fine (as folllowing):
default=1
timeout=20
splashimage=(hd1,0)/boot/grub/splashxpm.gz

title win 2000
      rootnoverify (hd0,0)
      chainloader +1
title MagicLinux
      root (hd1,0)
      kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.22-1 ro root=/dev/hdb1 vga=791, splash=silent
      initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.22-1.img

What is even worse, all of my stuff in directory /work, which is a independent partition and was NOT selected to be formatted, is gone! The whole directory is empty under KNOPPIX. I don't know if the installation erroneously formatted the partition /work or KNOPPIX can not display the contents (but I can view the files in HD1 which is running windows).

Re-install ML1.2 pre4b by formatting / as ext2. The same problem.

One correction of the previous message: after re-install ML1.1, I find that all the stuff in /work is still there. It looks like something wrong with KNOPPIX.

两硬盘，Grub安装是有问题！

两个硬盘Gurd安装有问题，只能分开装。
在安装开始时能不能搞一个引导恢复选项，使出现引导问题不需要重装。

有什么解决的办法吗？多谢指点！

一个变通的方法，把hd1上开辟一个primary的小的ext2分区作为/boot，其他的可以放在hd2上面，这样应该没问题了。

还有，当我装 RH9.0 时，安装程序总是在分区时死了。但是， ML1.1 （还有SuSE）则没有任何问题.。

是不是 /boot 只能装在 HD1 上？（我的 grub 装在 HD1 的 MBR 上）。

这个我不太清楚，因为Magic Installer刚被开发出来，肯定有很多不足，所以在安装程序方面大家不要太挑剔了，呵呵，暂时就把/boot放到hd1吧。

樱兄真负责。

I am not picky. I just want to get it work.

你这样说不会是在讽刺吧？我知道我做得不好，没能给解决问题，但是我也没什么办法啊。
