http://tassos.blogentis.net/2007/04/20/grub-error-17 If you ever stumble upon the error message Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition while attempting to install GRUB, do take a look at the partition table of the disk you're using, as the partition type in the table may not match the actual file system of the partition. While the Linux kernel doesn't pay much attention to the partition type, GRUB does - and fails with the above message. http://backend.userland.com/rss092 blogentis 0.1 abas@aix.meng.auth.gr 1440
