 |
|
im using hda as my windows disk, didn't touch that for linux, my hdb, im using for linux. I have hdb1 as boot, hdb2 as swap and hdb3 as root. I followed the install letter by letter replacing hda1 with hdb1..etc..and when i was setting up grub, i typed this.
default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd1,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Uber Leet
root (hd1,0)
kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hdb3
title=Windows
root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
and now all it says when i boot up as HDD-1 first, it spams me with GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB .....and it goes on like that...
what did i do wrong? |

What did you do for Code Listing 47 in section 16.Final steps: /etc/fstab of the Install Guide? | Code: | Code listing 47
grub> root (hd0,0)
grub> setup (hd0)
grub> quit |
root(hd0,0) should point to your /boot partition. Also, what did you issue for the setup() command?

i did

grub> setup (hd1)
grub> quit
the boot partition is on hdb1, so i did hd1,0 |

Shouldn't the setup command be on (hd0)

Perhaps you need to tell the BIOS to boot hdb? If that's where the boot loader is installed?

Why don't you install grub to hd0 and the the bios to boot from it

on a windows partition...

| Code: |
> root (hd1,0)
> setup (hd0)
> quit
