I have been trying to multiboot centos 4.1 and the
current solaris express build 15. I have two hard
drive s, the first one ( hd0 ) devoted to CentOS 4.1
and windows xp (no problems). The second drive (hd1)
for Solaris 10 only. I tried to boot solaris from
CentOS grub and got the following error messages:
Booting Solaris 10
root(hd1,0)
Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0Xbf
kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot
Error 17: can not mount selected partition
press any key to continue....
I googled for error 17 and found out that "the
partition exists but grub failed to recognize Solaris
partition". That is odd because I had no problems
triple booting windows,CentOs 4.1 and opensolaris
build 16 and I don't get it, there is no partition
difference between opensolaris 10 and solaris express.
or is there ?
Please somebody explain to me. Here is menu.lst for
centos grub
# grub.conf generated by anaconda

# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making
changes to this file
