 |
|
Trying to get Gentoo and WinXP to be happy on a 80 gig raid 0 array. My partition table:
/dev/ataraid/disc0/part1 = Winxp (bootable flag) partition
/dev/ataraid/disc0/part2 = /boot (bootable flag)
/dev/ataraid/disc0/part5= /
Here is my grub.conf
| Code: |
default 0
timeout 5
splashimage=(hd0,1)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Blazin
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,1)/bzImage root=/dev/ataraid/disc0/part5 vga=791 splash=silent
initrd (hd0,1)/initrd
title=WinXP
root (hd0,1)
rootnoverify (hd0,1)
makeactive
chainloader +1 |
I can boot into Gentoo with no problems, but can't get the WinXP part to work, I know I can use individual hard drives, but would like to get the raid to work.
Thanks |

I don't know much about ataraid but if it's in the first part of the disk, shouldn't your root for XP be at (hd0,0).
Try changing rootnoverify (hd0,1) to rootnoverify (hd0,0). Ditto for the root line too. |

First, use fdisk to fix your partition table so only the Windows partition is marked bootable.
Then make grub.conf look like this :
| Code: | title WinXP
chainloader (hd0,0)+1 |

That did it for me, thanks cyrillic 
Although, in all my trial and error, the WinXP partition got hosed, so had to reinstall windows before it would work. |
