ffrr Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Can you mount the old (mandrake) root to a mount point under Suse and then go and read the old config? That will give you some ideas what it requires. When I had Mandrake and Fedora dual booted, Fedora didn't need the /boot in front of the path to the kernel and initrd image. Also, even though Mandrake is on sda7, I think the kernel, when booting, can be on a different partition. All this should be discoverable from the old grub or lilo config when you mount mandrake's root, and look it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ffrr Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 I'm confused about which of those files are from suse and which are from the old mandrake install. You need to find the info from the old mandrake install (mount the old root somewhere and navigate down to find it (in mine, that's in boot/grub/menu.lst)). Then take that info, and use it to construct the equivalent in the configuration of the new boot system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
