grub> find /boot/initrd... did not fing the file though, there is an /initrd.img file in /root directory. How do I confirm if it is associated with the 2.6.10 kernel? I guess I can just add it to menu.lst. My box has three hard drives and one dvd drive. as i stated earlier, the setup is something like this: root is on hdc1 home is on hdc2 winxp/C is on hda1 win98/D is on hdb1 dvd is hdd my menu.lst is has follows: title aGNUla/DeMuDi, kernel 2.6.10-1-multimedia-k7 root (hd2,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-1-multimedia-k7 root=/dev/hdc1 ro savedefault boot title aGNUla/DeMuDi, kernel 2.6.10-1-multimedia-k7 (recovery mode) root (hd2,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-1-multimedia-k7 root=/dev/hdc1 ro single savedefault boot title aGNUla/DeMuDi, kernel 2.4.25-1-multimedia-k7 root (hd2,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.25-1-multimedia-k7 root=/dev/hdc1 ro initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.4.25-1-multimedia-k7 savedefault boot title aGNUla/DeMuDi, kernel 2.4.25-1-multimedia-k7 (recovery mode) root (hd2,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.25-1-multimedia-k7 root=/dev/hdc1 ro single initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.4.25-1-multimedia-k7 savedefault boot ### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST # This is a divider, added to separate the menu items below from the Debian # ones. title Other operating systems: root # This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for a non-linux OS # on /dev/hda1 title Windows NT/2000/XP root (hd0,0) savedefault makeactive chainloader +1 # This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for a non-linux OS # on /dev/hdb1 title Windows NT/2000/XP root (hd1,0) savedefault makeactive chainloader +1 thanks, guerrier On Thu, 10 Mar 2005 21:39:13 +0000, Russell L.
