hawklord Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 i am booting various o/s's from grub, mostly with no problems, the only one i am having a little trouble with is linux on my ide secondary master - at the moment its mandriva 2009.1, i boot into grub with mandriva 2009.0 on my primary master and windows on my primary slave, i also have an entry in grub for windows on my secondary master - with this configuration i have no problem booting to any of the 4 operating systems (i have 2 x windows controlled by ntldr) when i physically swap drives on my secondary master to 2009.1 all i get is a white screen i added 2009.1 via drakboot, i know that this is probably a minor issue but at the moment i can't seem to figure it out, any ideas ? (i know 2009.1 works as my motherboard supports the F11 boot options) here is my menu.lst, its the last entry i am having headaches with title linux kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz BOOT_IMAGE=linux root=UUID=f215643f-b7ad-4e91-b3fc-c7500a55b994 resume=UUID=88fa5363-9636-45dc-9694-8ddf777abdab splash=silent vga=788 initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd.img title linux-nonfb kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz BOOT_IMAGE=linux-nonfb root=UUID=f215643f-b7ad-4e91-b3fc-c7500a55b994 resume=UUID=88fa5363-9636-45dc-9694-8ddf777abdab splash=silent initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd.img title failsafe kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz BOOT_IMAGE=failsafe root=UUID=f215643f-b7ad-4e91-b3fc-c7500a55b994 failsafe initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd.img title Windoze rootnoverify (hd1,0) map (hd0) (hd1) map (hd1) (hd0) makeactive chainloader +1 title play hdd rootnoverify (hd2,0) map (hd0) (hd2) map (hd2) (hd0) makeactive chainloader +1 title desktop586 2.6.27.19-1mnb kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27.19-desktop586-1mnb BOOT_IMAGE=desktop586_2.6.27.19-1mnb root=UUID=f215643f-b7ad-4e91-b3fc-c7500a55b994 resume=UUID=88fa5363-9636-45dc-9694-8ddf777abdab splash=silent vga=788 initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd-2.6.27.19-desktop586-1mnb.img title desktop586 2.6.27.21-1mnb kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27.21-desktop586-1mnb BOOT_IMAGE=desktop586_2.6.27.21-1mnb root=UUID=f215643f-b7ad-4e91-b3fc-c7500a55b994 resume=UUID=88fa5363-9636-45dc-9694-8ddf777abdab splash=silent vga=788 initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd-2.6.27.21-desktop586-1mnb.img title linux-0 kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.29.3-desktop586-1mnb BOOT_IMAGE=linux-0 root=UUID=a913dfc7-91b9-4e2a-8eba-7843f00de8f0 UUID=a913dfc7-91b9-4e2a-8eba-7843f00de8f0 splash=silent vga=788 initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd.img Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reiver_Fluffi Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 You say that 2009.1 is swapped onto the secondary master, then the entry should be title linux-0 kernel (hd2,0)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.29.3-desktop586-1mnb BOOT_IMAGE=linux-0 root=UUID=a913dfc7-91b9-4e2a-8eba-7843f00de8f0 UUID=a913dfc7-91b9-4e2a-8eba-7843f00de8f0 splash=silent vga=788 initrd (hd2,0)/boot/initrd.img (all I have done is replaced (hd0,0) with (hd2,0), (hd0,0) is your primary master and, with a primary slave in place, (hd2,0) is your secondary master).
