well i d like to use more then more systems on my notebook. but actually i have the problem, that i don't know how to configure the grub.conf for booting my debian.

Harddisklayout:
Quote:

/dev/sda1 * 1 7 56196 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 8 2932 56196 83 Extended
/dev/sda3 2933 5603 56196 83 Linux
/dev/sda5 8 1224 56196 83 Linux
/dev/sda6 1225 1467 56196 83 Linux swap
/dev/sda7 1468 1473 56196 83 Linux
/dev/sda8 1474 2689 56196 83 Linux
/dev/sda9 2690 2932 56196 83 Linux


On the sda1 is the mbr, im loading the grub there and now i wanna load the kernel from debian, which is placed at the sda7

This is my grub.conf entry for debian:


Quote:
title Debian Sarge
root (hd0,1,c)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.27-2-368
initrd /initrd.img-2.4.27-2-368


But that does not work. It says, vmlinuz not found. Whats the correct root(XXX) configuration?

Thx for helping.

I've never seen root (hd0,1,c) before. Try root (hd0,0)....

try this
Code:
title=Linux SuSe
root (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.4-52-default root=/dev/hda7 vga=0x317
splash=silent desktop
initrd /initrd-2.6.4-52-default


where hda7 is my suse partition. But I am not sure with sda. maybe you just need to change /dev/hda7 to /dev/sda7. try it. it if works, put [SOLVED]...
good luck.
