Heyho!
My Scenario:
Since the hardware of a PC made in 1997 doesn’t like me, I just installed LXDE by pluging the P-ATA drive into my current PC (with my 2 S-ATA drives being plugged in). Not worked first time, probably because I pushed the drive too hard into the old PC … Formatted again, installed LXDE again (this time my S-ATA drives plugged out). Works fine with the old PC, but when I try booting from my current PC now it says: “Grub loading stage 1.5 … Grub Error 21”. No menu, nothing … And because I plugged my S-ATA drives out, when installing LXDE the second time, the config file, grub is probably searching for on the P-ATA drive, is somewhere in nowhere …
Googled it 2 hours … Yast2 Bootloader and grub-install are just trolling me …
My PCs specs:
2 S-ATA hard-drives:
250 GB drive with Suse 11.4 and KDE 4.7 (x86_64)
sda1 2 GB (or so) swap
sda2 248 GB ext4
1 TB S-ATA drive with Windoze 7 (x86_64)
One big partition
The drive I installed LXDE (32-bit) on, is an old P-ATA, with first 30 GB, then suddenly 80 GB (don’t ask, I don’t know either) …
First formatting was 500 MB swap and the rest Ext4
Second formatting was 1011 MB swap and the rest Ext4
If the rest is relevant …
