Gigabyte K8VT800 Pro F10 Bios problems

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.gigabyte (More info?)

I upgraded my Gigabyte K8VT800 Pro board to F10 bios. But with the F10 bios the GRUB Linux boot loader will not start.
The GRUB version is 0.94.

GRUB only loads a command line with
GRUB>
where I can type some commands.

With the old bios I was able to select HD0, HD1, CDROM...
The new bios has a new method: In the boot order is only HD, CDROM, ... shown. In a second menu You can set the order of the disks and the SCSI-Devices.
In a hirarchical view it would look like:

1st: HD
- Samsung SP1614N
- WD600AB
- SCSI-Devices
2nd: CDROM
3rd: USB-Disk
4th: USB-Memorystick

The old view looked like
1st: HD0
2nd: HD1
3rd: SCSI-Device
4th: CDROM

But I don't understand, that this should be any influence to the GRUB boot loader. And GRUB seems to be loaded, because I get the GRUB> input command line. But I'm not very experienced with the GRUB command line;-(

In meantime I made a repair installation from boot DVD and installed Lilo instead of GRUB. And wonder - it works.
Everything looks like it ws before and I can run the board with F10 bios!

And further more, the F10 bios works well with C'n'Q with Linux.

Sorry for the triple posts, I got an error when posting by my Sony
Clie with Yanoff and I thought, the message wasn't send. But it was
send.
