The drives on live CD are sda, sdb (the USB stick) and sdcI'm installing Grub boot to sdc https://iansramblings.wordpress.com/2011/11/21/grub-error-21-selected-disk-does-not-exist/ of courseIt seems to go wrong already in menu.lst where # device name conversions says /dev/fd0 (fd0) /dev/sda (hd0) /dev/sdb2 (hd1,1) /dev/sda3 (hd0,2)and the default (0) boot says root (hd0,2)After booting error 21 the error I get isroot (hd2,0)Error 21: Selected disk does not existA little strange I find is that the /boot/grub/device.map file is missing on the SD drive. Even stranger is that the /dev folder is almost empty, shouldn't it be auto-created by the installer?How can I debug this?

might run into this problem as I have just done when installing CentOS 6. When you first re-boot to go back into Windows and select "Other" from the Grub loader menu you are presented with "Error 21: Selected disk does not exist". Almost as uninformative as it is annoying, but it can be fixed at least in my case by the following: - Log into Linux, and run the following as root: - vi /boot/grub/menu.lst You'll see something like: - # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. # root (hd0,0) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 # initrd /initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/hda default=0 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title CentOS (2.6.18-53.1.4.el5) root (hd0,1) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5.img title other rootnoverify (hd1,4) chainloader+1 What I had to do was change the last (hd1,4) to (hd0,0) then I changed the title to Windows instead of other. I also set the default to 1 so it defaults to windows and increased the timeout to 20.
