LL2 not booting if one extended partition is formatted to FAT 32
#17
Dear gold_finger,

Thanks for all your effort, I installed the system as per your guide lines and restarted the system still the same issue. gild_finger i want to insist on one point i presume we are missing is that the "Hard disk boots, it shows all the LL grub boot options and the 10 seconds time is running below after that the OS hangs or doesn't start further in lay mans language the Grub is not able to find/decide the boot folder if we configure the system in this format. i am sorry if you have taken this point into account before to mention it again. given below is the inputs from the commands you have already asked to post after this installation:

Code:
