Here's what the GRUB documentation says: 31 : File is not sector aligned This error may occur only when you access a ReiserFS partition by block-lists (e.g. the command `install'). In this case, you should mount the partition with the `-o notail' option. Now that's strange. It appears that if you use the hosted version of GRUB, it doesn't access the filesystem directly but uses blocklists instead. If you repeat the exact same grub commands from your boot floppy (hit "c" to get to the command line), it will work. I may need to switch the docs back to the old method of installing GRUB, i.e. rebooting with the CD, hitting "c" and typing the commands in. Let me know if my suggestion works. > Fortunately due to your tutorial on IBM developerworks > I could make a GRUB boot floppy which works and > gets Gentoo Linux up and running. :) Glad I could help :) -- Daniel Robbins President/CEO http://www.gentoo.org Gentoo Technologies, Inc.
