hi kevin,<br>   Since the CHS/LBA also has been resovled yesterday, now the problems is that <br>grub can not load the kenerl by &quot;invalid or unsupported executable format&quot;.<br>i tried to cat (hd0,0)/menu.lst. It seems the output is not correct too.<br>

&gt;  Hi all,<br>
&gt;      I am glad to tell you that usbrom can boot grub from usb disk<br>
&gt; correctly. It can not boot linux by error &quot; Selected cylinder exceeds<br>
&gt; maximum supported by bios&quot;.<br>
&gt; I suppose that becase of the kernel are located in the second partition of<br>
&gt; the disk. I will try to make a new usb linux. And try to boot that later.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; BTW, Kevin , do you know the reason why the bios does not support larger<br>
&gt; cylinder?<br>
<br>
</div></div>That&#39;s odd.  How big is the drive, and what CHS settings are you<br>
returning?<br>
<br>
Also, I vaguely recall grub having an option to enable LBA based disk<br>
reads.<br>
