21.7 Troubleshooting
This section lists some of the problems frequently encountered when booting with
GRUB and a short description of possible solutions. Some of the problems are covered
in articles in the Support Database at
.html. If your specific problem is not included in this list, use the search dialog of
the Support Database at
to search for keywords like GRUB, boot, and boot loader.
GRUB and XFS
XFS leaves no room for stage1 in the partition boot block. Therefore, do not
specify an XFS partition as the location of the boot loader. This problem can be
solved by creating a separate boot partition that is not formatted with XFS.
GRUB and JFS
Although technically possible, the combination of GRUB with JFS is problematic.
In this case, create a separate boot partition (/boot) and format it with Ext2. Install
GRUB in this partition.
GRUB Reports GRUB Geom Error
GRUB checks the geometry of connected hard disks when the system is booted.
Sometimes, the BIOS returns inconsistent information and GRUB reports a GRUB
Geom Error. If this is the case, use LILO or update the BIOS. Detailed information
