Greetings: I'm trying to figure out how to write a grub.conf that will allow a choice between booting into Planet C's RH 8 or RH 9. Here's what I know about the drive structure: For RH8: /dev/hda1 /boot /dev/hda2 / /dev/hda3 /swap For RH9: /dev/hda5 /boot /dev/hda6 / /dev/hda7 /swap A single drive has been partitioned to accommodate both systems. The RH8 install was the first installation, and in the process of installing RH9 grub was rewritten for it (and not for the RH8 partition). So, how do I indicate the choices ? Here's what I'm thinking about for an edited grub.conf : default=0 timeout=10 splashimage=(hd0,4)/grub/splash.xpm.gz ### RH9 title Red Hat Linux (2.4.26-1.ll.rh90.ccrma) root (hd0,4) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.26-1.ll.rh90.ccrma ro root=LABEL=/1 hdc=ide-scsi initrd /initrd-2.4.26-1.ll.rh90.ccrma.img ### RH8 title Red Hat Linux (2.4.19-1.ll) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.19-1.ll ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi initrd /initrd-2.4.19-1.ll.img Is this kosher ? What will happen if it's incorrect, and what should I do if grub fails ? How do I specify that I want RH8 to be the default system ? Btw, when the RH8 partition is mounted from RH9 (mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/rh8) we discovered that /mnt/rh8/etc/grub.conf is a broken link. I'm sorry about the confusion, but I've never edited grub.conf. Best, dp
