To Whom, I have read the grub manual and done what i can and have messaged the bug-grub list (perhaps there is some cross-over: pardon the double posts) but in a 3 hd system i cannot seem to get grub to access one or the other of the 2 linux drives, depending on which i install a linux OS on first. that is, when i install rh9 on hd2, grub will boot hd0 (win2k) and hd2 (the rh9 volume) when i install rh7.3 and its grub version on hd1, grub will boot hd0 (win2k) and hd1 (the rh7.3 volume) i have used grub-install --recheck and all drives are mapped (albeit at the moment in rh7.3 talk: fd0, sda, sdb, sdc), and have tried myriad ways to edit the hd not initially listed (in this case hd2), but i still get error 15 root (hd2,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-8smp ro root=LABEL=/ hda=ide-scsi Error 15: File not found the full grub entry for hd2 on this dual processor machine is rh9DB (2.4.20-8smp) root (hd2,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-8smp ro root=LABEL=/ hda=ide-scsi initrd /initrd-2.4.20-8smp.img rh9DB (2.4.20-8) root (hd2,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 ro root=LABEL=/ hda=ide-scsi initrd /initrd-2.4.20-8.img I used root=LABEL=/ as that is what is listed for / in /etc/fstab on hd2 (rh9) I have alternately tried root=/dev/sdd2 (where / is), but this also yeilds error 15. [alternately, when i installed rh9 on hd2, i could not boot into hd1...] Does anyone on this list have any suggestions? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 11 Nov 2003 13:01:36 -0600 (CST) From: Melissa Golter <mgolter@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: Jeff Sheinberg <jeff@xxxxxxxx> Cc: bug-grub@xxxxxxx Subject: Re: (no subject): grub recog of 3drives (2 linux) thanks for your response In meantime since i wrote I have edited /etc/grub.conf, run grub-install /dev/sda, and grub-install --recheck to map all drives all drives are mapped but, no matter if i use kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-8smp ro root=LABEL=/ hda=ide-scsi or kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-8smp ro root=/dev/sdd2 hda=ide-scsi I get error 15 root (hd2,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-8smp ro root=LABEL=/ hda=ide-scsi (or kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-8smp ro root=/dev/sdd2 hda=ide-scsi) Error 15: File not found / is on partition 2 on sdd (hd2) in that /etc/fstab on hd2 (rh9) uses LABEL=/ for /, i figured i should try that...but since neither connotation works, i am (still) at a loss. thanks for any suggestion here. -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
