I recently upgraded my main machine to grub2 as well and I have the following entry to boot my Fedora 15, which still has legacy grub, on a separate partition via: ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/40_custom ### # This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type the # menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change # the 'exec tail' line above. menuentry "Fedora (2.6.40-4.fc15.i686)" { recordfail=1 if [ -n ${have_grubenv} ]; then save_env recordfail; fi insmod ext2 set root=(hd0,3) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 93f664e9-9013-47b4-b5d8-1239af7c0605 linux /vmlinuz-2.6.40-4.fc15.i686 ro root=/dev/mapper/vg_myfedora15-lv_root rd_LVM_LV=vg_myfedora15/lv_root rd_LVM_LV=vg_myfedora15/lv_swap rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYTABLE=us rhgb quiet initrd /initramfs-2.6.40-4.fc15.i686.img } ### END /etc/grub.d/40_custom ### And this works. Maybe, you need to put /<kernel> instead of /boot/<kernel>? Hope that helps! -- thomas -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
