Hi was hoping i was able to get some help with grub to.

I have followed the handbook installation guide so my /dev/hda looks like:

/dev/hda1 boot
/dev/hda2 swap
/dev/hda3 root

and my grub.conf looks like this:

default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz

title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.11-r9
root (hd0,0)
kernel /kernel-2.6.11-gentoo-r9 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hda3
initrd /initrd-2.6.11-gentoo-r9

I'm trying to set this up on WMWare 5.
I hope somebody can help

I think you should, but there's nothing like trying! :wink:

If it doesn't work, you can use the GRUB shell in the boot menu to do some debugging or use the live-cd to boot and edit the file again.
