 |
|
Well the problem is that it will not boot Windows XP in GRUB....
Windows XP is on hdb1 which should be (hd1,0)
Here is my grub configuration file...
| Code: | ServaxNet root # cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
default 0
timeout 30
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.9 by ServaxNet
root (hd0,0)
kernel /kernel-2.6.9-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/hda3 video=vesafb:ywrap,pmipal,1024x768-32@60 splash=silent,theme:emergence
initrd /boot/fbsplash-emergence-1024x768
title=Windows XP by ServaxNet
root (hd1,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1 |
This should be right, what am I doing wrong?

If I am not mistaken, "root (hd1,0)" should be "rootnoverify (hd1,0)"
Are there any error messages? Can you still boot linux? What happens when you try to boot windows? |

Hmm, the problem is I'v tried that, it just says unknown filesystem then stays there until you pull the power...
I can still boot linux with the first option

Is it possible to boot winxp from anything other than hda?
If so ... perhaps the problem is corruption of CHS parameters in the partition table.
See my other remarks here:

Your Windows entry should look like this. The map command makes the Windows bootloader think it is booting from the first harddrive.
| Code: | title=Windows XP by ServaxNet
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
chainloader (hd1,0)+1 |
