Grub Loading…please wait
error 18
I just installed suse 11.0 on an XP drive. Upon reboot, this is what I get on a blank screen. Anybody know what this means and how to fix it?
From the handbook:
18 : Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS
This error is returned when a read is attempted at a linear block address beyond the end of the BIOS translated area. This generally happens if your disk is larger than the BIOS can handle (512MB for (E)IDE disks on older machines or larger than 8GB in general).
What’s the partition layout of your hard drive? to find out you boot to a live Linux CD like openSUSE 11 or Knoppix and execute this command as root user (enter su to be root user):
fdisk -l
or you boot off the installation DVD and select “rescue system”, proceed to the login prompt, enter root to login then execute the command fdisk -l
