Hi Guys,

I already do a lot of googling for this problem and I met a lot of
source too but none of it is helping. My system is using OpenSUSE 10.3
with HP Proliant ML 110 that has 500 GB of SCSI and we ad d another
SCSI disk 160 GB. The problem arise when I install OpenSUSE 10.3 in
160 GB HDD, we use this just to make all the OS in our office to be
the same, when it want to install boot loader come error 23 for GRUB,
it is said that error in parsing number, in many forum it is said that
you must go to the grub folder so I managed to half installed OpenSUSE
and search device.map and menu.1st inside both of file the one that is
recorded is /dev/....basically pointing to RAID disk (500 GB) (it's
not where I install OpenSUSE) as primary not /dev/sda (my 160GB).

What I want to ask is that whether I can find any format for
device.map and menu.1st if I installed RAID disk? and if not is there
any solution about this?

Best Regards,


Taz

It looks like there's an error in /boot/grub/menu.lst.
Can you list its contents, or at least the lines starting with gfxmenu or root?

Here is the file that you asked

1. device.map

(hd0) /dev/mapper/ddf1_Data

I hope you can give me some clue....Here is the file that you asked

I think these lines should be replaced by:

gfxmenu (hd1,1)/boot/message
root (hd1,1)
root (hd1,1)

If that doesn't work, try hd0 instead of hd1.

but i think hd is not for scsi drive, while both of my disk is scsi,
with arrangement like this:
/dev/sda ->160 GB where I put my Linux and boot
/dev/sdb ->Raid (fake)
/dev/sdc ->Raid (fake)

Grub accepts hd only.
