« on: January 13, 2008, 12:18:13 PM »
Smei586 7.2 upgraded to 7.3  (Scsi hard disk - sda) and won't boot all I get is the grub prompt - followed this thread

http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=31290.15

and grub seemed to install fine except that now I get: (in very bad dot matrix style font)

'Booting SME ....

root (hd2.0)

Error 21: Selected disk does not exist

Press any key to continue...

When I press the 'any key'

I get a whole lot of vertical lines and spme text (in the very low res dot matrix style) and cannot make out what the text says

Please help

Not sure how to report bugs, the bug tracker looks a bit hard to follow!

Create an account (if you haven't already for the bug tracker) then click on this link:

http://bugs.contribs.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=SME%20Server%20Release%207.X

So we are looking at the SME Server Release 7.x, its not hard as you think...honest :) If you make sure you include all server history then we can go from there.
