Thread: More hd0 questions


hi all.

need ask ubuntu's boot process again because i've had reinstall last version of ubuntu several times due crashes , when ran installer 1 time sdx letter different second time ran it.

defines hd0 grub , linux kernel? defined first boot device or else? read somewhere grub identifies drives letter depending on uuid correct?

don't boot linux insalls changing usb drive first boot device instead because usb drive use f12 boot menu switch boot mbr on usb drive. affect drives grub maps letters to? installer , grub-mbr update packages consider hd0 when write install mbr? drive installed seen sdb2 (hd1,2) second partition of usb drive.

when ran installer reinstall ubuntu after crashed realized usb drive seen sdc2(hd2,2 grub) second drive second partition, knew because files stored on first ntfs partition on sdc1 drive.

edit: sorry should have mentioned laptop acer aspire 5742 intel hda graphics 128mb, 3gb of ram , 320gb hdd.

bump... anyone? idea why drive letters seemed swapping around @ different install times?

strange , quite serious me if grub gets confused , updates wrong drive wipe main drive's windows bootloader.

when using 11.04 btw have 12.04 in case drive letters swap around again reason have yet kernel or grub updates.

please let me know reason might happening.

hello! i'm trying setup software raid on server, fail @ first step: code: root@sandnabba:/root# mdadm -c /dev/md0 -c512 -l5 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 /dev/sde1 mdadm: no raid-devices specified. what doing wrong!? are sure -c equivalent --create? also, think need space after -c , -l options, value shouldn't command, or should have = between. @ man pages mdadm , double check spelling.

hi, if developing platform independent software in linux using gtk+/gtkmm , you've managed cross compile windows, guide you. i'm posting because after researching topic myself, encountered many posts people have abandoned gtk+/gtkmm wxwidgets because of gtks ugly default appearance in windows/wine. gtk+ themeable in windows/wine gnome. have set correctly . . . here's how. guide gtkmm gtk+ similar. (1) firstly, download , install gtkmm windows using wine. (you have if have cross compiled app windows) https://live.gnome.org/gtkmm/mswindows (2) run these commands create proper directory structure.
