grub problem

bilbravo · Posted: Fri Oct 01, 2004 6:53 pm Post subject: grub problem

this is my setup

/dev/hda5 is root
/dev/hda3 is boot
/dev/hda4 is swap

this is my grub line

root (hd0,4)
kernel /kernel-2.4.27-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/hda3

i put hda3 b/c my kernel is in the root of where hda3 mounts (/boot)

should i put /hda5?

my windowsxp line works fine, but i get a error 15 : file not found when i try to boot linux

Root for grub is your boot partition.
Root for linux is your root partition.
So write:

root (hd0,2)
kernel /kernel-2.4.27-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/hda5
