RE: Stupid Question: GRUB Partition Issue
Hello Brent,
which GRUB version did you use? There was a bug in file disk_io.c which made
trouble with extended partitions. The error message was exactly the one you
saw.
See cvs log output (revision 1.24 of disk_io.c is the fixed version).
Regards,
Stefan

Yes. (Reading the mail I see I said 0x83, but meant 0x82)
Does GRUB have trouble with logical (extended) partitions?
