 Posted: Wed Feb 16, 2005 2:29 am Post subject: Help me configuring grub.conf |
 |
|
I have partitioned my hdd looks like this:
hda1 NTFS (Windows XP)
hda2 FAT32
hda3 Extended
hda5 Linux <- boot
hda6 Linux Swap
hda7 Linux <- root
I tried ... and tried and tried....
but when it comes to actual booting, nothing happens and i cant even get into windows xp.
I think this is because of bootloader not working properly.
(or maybe other place...)
can anyone please help me configuring following grub.conf file?
default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo Linux 2.4.26-r9
root (hd0,0)
kernel /kernel-2.4.26-gentoo-r9 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hda7
initrd /initrd-2.4.26-gentoo-r9
title=Windows XP
root (hd0,5)

I am not the greatest with grub, minimal experience, but.....
I notice you have Windows XP as 0,5 and gentoo as 0,0 but your format looks opposite.... Meaning, maybe gentoo should be 0,5 and xp 0,0....
For instance, I have a similare setup... Here is what my grub.conf file looks like.
| Code: |
blackbox grub # more grub.conf
#Boot Settings
default 0
timeout 10
#Gentoo Info
splashimage=(hd0,2)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.7-r12
root (hd0,2)
kernel /kernel-2.6.7-gentoo-r12 root=/dev/hda4
#Windows Xp info
title=Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
####END
blackbox grub #
|
While my fdisk -l looks like...
| Code: |
blackbox / # fdisk -l
Disk /dev/hda: 82.3 GB, 82348277760 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 10011 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 1912 15358108+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda2 1913 2289 3028252+ 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda3 * 2290 2294 40162+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda4 2295 5407 25005172+ 83 Linux
Disk /dev/hdb: 82.3 GB, 82348277760 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 10011 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

blackbox / #

Hope this helps. Also, I might add the Xp or any version of windows for that matter can be quite picky if it is not the FIRST partition.....
Good Luck
