Grub settings, quick question... really my last question :p

**mark1221** · 11-01-2003, 09:31 PM

right now menu.lst (grub) is set:

title Windows XP
unhide (hd0,0)
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

# For booting Linux
title Knoppix 3.2
root (hd5,6)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21-xfs ro
initrd /boot/initrd.gz

Winxp boots fine but knoppix doesn't, it says that it can't find the drive, but i know i installed it on my hda5 (knoppix) and hda6(Swap)
so can you please tell me how it should be?!

I upgraded to GRUB recently and had this trouble. Don't know why, but here's what I got...

Code:

# For booting GNU/Linux from the 3rd logical partition of the first hard disk
title GNU/Linux
kernel (hd0,6)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda7 vga=0x317 hdc=scsi hdd=scsi
initrd /boot/initrd.gz

vmlinuz is just a simlink to /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-xfs

The vga option sets the screen mode. The scsi's are for scsi emulation of the CD drvie.

Hope this helps.
