I may not be correct but, this is what I conclude from your problem. Check it out [snip]
I installed two Seagate ST340810A 40-GB hard drives. The primary master drive had a Windows 95 (LBA) partition for Windows Me, and the primary slave drive was partitioned into 10GB EXT3 for Linux and 30GB for Windows Me.
i. e. your Linux is on your 2nd disk ( hdb)
GRUB stopped booting Linux with the following boot screen.
root (hd1,0)
how it comes to hd1, it should be hd2 ( just my guess ) as your linux is on 2nd disk
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-3 ro root=/dev/hdb3 hdc=ide-scsi [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1400, size=0xfa203]
Error 28: Selected item cannot fit into memory
Press any key to continue...
However Windows Me still boots perfectly. Even upgrading to GRUB 0.92 did not help!
Can anybody advise me on what is going on? What steps should I take to correct the situation.
1 clear the mbr by - fdisk/mbr 2. boot into linux (with bootable disk ) & edit the grub file to correct the paths. I haven't used grub, so I can't help u much in that but don't worry somebody else will definitely help u.
Other way is..... uninstall grub. clear mbr & make a clean new grub installation
I'd prefer to keep the new Intel BIOS P14. One compelling reason being that I don't know how to roll back to the old Intel BIOS P05.
Don't roll back just go ahead. But before, be sure that u have installed BIOS properly ( with no errors) Check it out once again if u have any doubt
