Trouble installing grub2

<< < (2/3) > >>

coreplayer2:
That's a good question  :p

Fog:
It's a normal bios (non uefi) and mbr partitioned. Does that mean I have to have a boot partition at the beginning of the disk?

Coreplayer2 I forgot to include I also tried those commands at the grub rescue prompt, it came back with error: unknown command.

It's been a year or so since I've worked with linux, and have forgotten a lot. I know there was trouble last time I tried to install grub but don't remember how it was solved.

Edit: Here's my disk layout
--- Code: ---tc@box:~$ fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80000000000 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9726 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks  Id System

/dev/sda6            1311        1572     2099440+ 82 Linux swap

Partition table entries are not in disk order
--- End code ---

curaga:
I doubt the EFI bootloader works with MBR bios. You should use a MBR bootloader.

coreplayer2:
Now we got to the root of the problem

use grub2 extension for legacy BIOS

Fog:
What's the grub2 extension called? I only saw grub2-efi.tcz, but I'll look again tomorrow.
