|
I am having problems getting another OS (Win2000) to boot from GRUB. Can anyone else who uses dual boots post some examples of their working grub.conf and partition tables?
Mine are currently:
[code]
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 13 98248+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 14 4148 31260600 83 Linux
/dev/hda3 4149 9937 43764840 5 Extended
/dev/hda4 * 9938 10337 3024000 83 Linux
/dev/hda5 4149 4562 3129808+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda6 4563 4837 2078968+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda7 * 4838 5389 4173088+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda8 5390 5526 1035688+ 82 Linux swap
[code]
GRUB.CONF
[code]
#boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-30.9)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-30.9 ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi
initrd /initrd-2.4.20-30.9.img
title DOS
root (hd0,6)
makeactive
chainloader +1
[/code]
When I try to boot to DOS I get this error:
[code]
Booting 'DOS'
root (hd0,6)
Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7
makeactive
Error 12: Invalid device requested
Press any key to continue
[/code]
The DOS partition (6) is definitely bootable (it was booting before I set up BLAG) ;)
I have tried "hide (hda0,x)" for partitions prior to 6 from Windoze, that didn't work either.
Can anyone else who uses dual boots post some examples of their working grub.conf and partition tables?

My grub.conf is
| Code: |
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.
# root (hd0,1)
# kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda2
# initrd /boot/initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,1)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title BLAG (2.4.20-30.9)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-30.9 ro root=LABEL=/ hdd=ide-scsi
initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.20-30.9.img
title Windows
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

My partitions are
| Code: |
Disk /dev/hda: 122.9 GB, 122942324736 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14946 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

/dev/hda3 14755 14945 1534207+ 82 Linux swap
Disk /dev/hdb: 40.9 GB, 40982151168 bytes

Hope this helps.
