Booting with GRUB! (doesn't work)

[EnergyBear]

Hi everybody,

 

I have a little complicated Problem (for me, don't hope 4u)!

Installed mdk 10 on my PC with GRUB as Bootloader! Why Grub? Because i use Raid Hd's for WinXP and another HD for linux! And grub is the only way i found to boot XP from raid! My linux HD partions are hd0,0 for /boot and hd0,1 for /root ...

Everything worked fine till yesterday i reinstalled mdk! When i try to boot mdk it says "Kernel Panic: init not found ...."

 

#MY GRUB.conf#

default=1

timeout=10

title Mandrake 10.0

root (hd0,0)

kernel /vmlinuz ro root=/dev/hdc2 hdc=ide-scsi rhgb

initrd /initrd.img

 

title Windows XP SP1a

rootnoverify (hd1,0)

makeactive

chainloader +1

map (hd1) (hd0)

 

#MY Device.map#

(fd0) /dev/fd0

(hd0) /dev/hdc

(hd1) /dev/hde

 

 

Really don#t no whats wrong with this thing!!!!!

kernel /vmlinuz ro root=/dev/hdc2 hdc=ide-scsi rhgb

initrd /initrd.img

should these be

kernel /boot/vmlinuz ro root=/dev/hdc2 hdc=ide-scsi rhgb

initrd /boot/initrd.img

 

or are you using symlinks in /

?

Hi,

 

no...

 

kernel /vmlinuz ro root=/dev/hdc2 hdc=ide-scsi rhgb

initrd /initrd.img

 

is the right path! The /boot directory is mounted as own partion, where only the boot files for grup (/grub) and the kernel files...!

 

hd0,0 --> /boot (hdc1)

hd0,1 --> / (hdc5)

hd0,2 --> /home (hdc6)

so /vmlinuz is a symlink to /boot/vmlinux<version>?

 

just about has to be, no? unless you've done sone really exotic handy work there. I don't use a separate /boot partition, and this is why. Just adds to the confusion, IMO.

 

If

hd0,1 --> / (hdc5)

 

then isn't this is wrong?

root=/dev/hdc2

and shouldn't it be

kernel /vmlinuz ro root=/dev/hdc5 hdc=ide-scsi rhgb

?
