I did discover something else. Ubuntu will boot if I move the HD from
the Trios directly to the IDE2. Let me also explain why 6 drives. I
work in a support center and at one time we were supporting our
software on W*95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, and XP. 95 is no longer supported
so I have an extra drive and wanted to install a Linux version and
learn.
Now, here's what I tried. With all three drives connected to the one
trios Ubuntu will boot to the splash screen then deliver the error
message and go no further. I removed the power from the two "other"
drives that has Windoze installed, left Ubuntu connected to the Trios
and it booted fine. I supsect Linux may be seeing the other two dirves
connected and naming them hda1 and hda2 and leaving Linux hda3. Just my
uneducated guess.
I need to know how to find out where the grub.conf file is and see
where it is looking during boot up.
Thanks for your help.
