Cause There are two possible causes: The INT13 extension (LBA addressing) for hard disks has not been activated in the SCSI controller's BIOS. LBA does not work due to a faulty BIOS in the SCSI controller. The BIOS "informs" the boot loader GRUB that it is http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/grub-geom-error-287509/ using LBA addressing, but uses CHS addressing instead. As a result, GRUB cannot find one of the files required for booting (stage2, which contains GRUB's program code. See SDB:The Boot Manager Grub Solution The solution is quite simple in the case of cause number one: activate the INT13 extension (LBA addressing) in the SCSI controller's BIOS. For cause number two, several solutions are possible: If the controller is equipped https://tr.opensuse.org/SDB:GRUB_Hangs_with_the_Message_'GRUB'_when_Booting_from_a_SCSI_Hard_Disk with a Flash BIOS, a BIOS update should solve the problem. If not, disable the INT13 extension in the SCSI BIOS. In this case, note that the partition containing the boot loader files as well as the kernel and INITRD (usually the boot partition) must be located within the first 1024 cylinders (in the first 8 GB). Otherwise, you would encounter the 1024 cylinder problem (see SDB:The Boot Process Hangs with the Message GRUB Geom Error) From SuSE Linux 8.2 on, you also have the possibility to use the GRUB parameter --force-lba=off, which disables the LBA support. Boot the installed system using the first CD/DVD and insert this parameter in the file /etc/grub.conf. To do this, open this file in a root shell with an editor of your choice (e.g., pico): pico -w /etc/grub.conf Insert the parameter in the second line, making sure there are no line breaks. The file might look like this: root (hd0,4) install --force-lba=off --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 /grub/stage1 d (hd0) /grub/stage2 0x8000 (hd0,4)/grub/menu.lst quit Save the file (STRG-O), close the editor (STRG-X), and reinstall the boot loader by entering the following command in the root shell: grub --batch --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map

Join Date Mar 2005 Posts 3 [SuSE 9.2] Grub Geom Error Hello, I've got a computer running Windows XP Professional SP2. I first had a few problems getting linux to work on this machine, since it would usually lock up during USB detection. I eventually solved this by disabling USB legacy support in the BIOS. Then I've installed SuSE 9.2 (DVD) successfully onto /dev/hda2 (18Gb ext3) The problem I am having is that I cannot access the bootloader at all. That is, upon booting the system I get an error saying 'GRUB Geom Error'. I've tried installing other distro's, but no luck with that. Either one of that had this problem on this particular machine (all using GRUB, though) (I've installed SuSE 9.2 on my laptop as well, which runs flawlessly, dual-boot.) I have then entered the SuSE installation again and tried to install LiLo. This didn't solve the problem either, as LiLo would constantly display 02 02 02 02 02 on the screen (with a minute delay between each 02). According to the SuSE portal this problem co

With SUSE Linux Professional 9.0 everything was perfect. Solution: On a big harddisk, the new kernel was stored beyond the 128 GB limit of the bios (the partition ranged from 64GB to 160GB). Copying some old files to a new location and removing the old ones freed disk space at the beginning of the partition. Copying the kernel once more used the new free space there, allowing grub to generate appropriate boot environment.
