I have installed gentoo on 4 pc. on 2 of them run vista as second OS and on the 2 older PC XP. on the Vista PC i dont have a problem with dual booting, but on the XP PC.
When i choose boot XP in grub, the windows change and it show me:
Code:
     Booting 'Windows XP'
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1


and stop doning something. this is also the text i have in my grub.conf
Code:

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

title=Gentoo Linux (2.6.27-gentoo-r7)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.27-gentoo-r7 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hda3 udev
initrd /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.27-gentoo-r7

title Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1


the only different to my grub.conf on the vista pcs are the title....where i change XP to Vista....but that all. so what is wrong with it.

ah i also should say, that when i switch in BIOS to boot direkt from the Harddisk with XP on both pc XP start normal, so XP is not crashed.

I noticed that you have XP on a 2nd harddrive. It is necessary to map hd0 to hd1 and back again.

This thread has more info:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-725888.html

The other reason I pointed out this particular thread is because the typical map fix didn't work in this case, and they have another alternative solution further on.
