hi,
I am currently using LILO as my boot loader but want to go for GRUB. I tried using GRUB but it gave me some errors. Can anyone suggest an equivalent grub.conf for the following lilo.conf.

Code:

lba32
                                                                                                                             
# MBR to install LILO to:
boot = /dev/hda
map = /boot/.map
                                                                                                                             
install = /boot/boot-menu.b   # Note that for lilo-22.5.5 or later you
                              # do not need boot-{text,menu,bmp}.b in
                              # /boot, as they are linked into the lilo
                              # binary.
                                                                                                                             
menu-scheme=Wb
prompt
delay = 50

vga = 791

#
# Linux bootable partition config begins (with genkernel)
#
image = /boot/kernel-2.4.20-gentoo-r6
        root = /dev/hda6
        label = Gentoo_Linux_2.4
        initrd = /boot/initrd-2.4.20-gentoo-r6
        append="root=/dev/hda6 init=/linuxrc"

#linux 2.6
image = /boot/bzImage
root = /dev/hda6
label = Linux-2.6
read-only
                                                                                                                             
                                                                                                                             
#
# DOS bootable partition config begins
#
other = /dev/hda1
        label = WindowsXP
        table = /dev/hda




Thank you

Could you post your /etc/fstab as well. I can't tell what the boot partition is from looking at the lilo.conf file.[/code]

Code:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

# noatime turns of atimes for increased performance (atimes normally aren't
# needed; notail increases performance of ReiserFS (at the expense of storage
# efficiency).  It's safe to drop the noatime options if you want and to
# switch between notail and tail freely.
 
# <fs>                  <mountpoint>    <type>          <opts>                  <dump/pass>
 
# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
#/dev/hda6              /boot           ext2            noauto,noatime          1 1
/dev/hda6               /               reiserfs        notail,noatime                  0 0
/dev/hda7               none            swap            sw                      0 0
/dev/scd0       /mnt/cdrom      iso9660         noauto,ro               0 0
 
# NOTE: The next line is critical for boot!
none                    /proc           proc            defaults                0 0
 
# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink).
# (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will
#  use almost no memory if not populated with files)
# Adding the following line to /etc/fstab should take care of this:
 
none                    /dev/shm        tmpfs           defaults                0 0
