    Need help editing GRUB for Kanotix - adding knoppix to list

    I am trying to edit grub to get it to load knoppix as a boot choice and I does not see it. Here is what I have in boot/grub/menu1st:

    ## ## End Default Options ##

    title Linux
    root (hd0,1)
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 ro ramdisk_size=100000 lang=us apm=power-off hda=scsi hdb=scsi hdc=scsi hdd=scsi hde=scsi hdf=scsi hdg=scsi hdh=scsi nomce vga=791 alsa
    savedefault
    boot

    title Kanotix
    root (hd0,1)
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8.1-kanotix-5 root=/dev/hda2 ro ramdisk_size=100000 lang=us apm=power-off hda=scsi hdb=scsi hdc=scsi hdd=scsi hde=scsi hdf=scsi hdg=scsi hdh=scsi nomce vga=791 alsa
    savedefault
    boot

    ### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST
    title Knoppix
    root (hd0,2)
    kernal /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.27 root=/dev/hda3 ro ramdisk_size=100000 lang=us apm=power-off hda=scsi hdb=scsi hdc=scsi hdd=scsi hde=scsi hdf=scsi hdg=scsi hdh=scsi nomce vga=791 alsa
    boot

    title WindowsXP
    rootnoverify (hd0,0)
    makeactive
    chainloader +1
    savedefault

    I added the knoppix entry. Is it in the wrong place? Can I get some help so I can boot Knoppix from the hd also.

    Well for starters you misspelled kernel. The other problem is it's not looking for your kernel in the right place.

    Try this instead:
    Code:
    title Knoppix
    kernel (hd0,2)/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.27 root=/dev/hda3 ro ramdisk_size=100000 lang=us apm=power-off hda=scsi hdb=scsi hdc=scsi hdd=scsi hde=scsi hdf=scsi hdg=scsi hdh=scsi nomce vga=791 alsa
    boot
