grub> find /boot/vmlinuz
(hd0,4)
(hd1,0)

grub> find /boot/initrd.img
(hd0,4)
(hd1,0)

 

i've tried hd0,1 to hd0,5 with no success

 

any ideas ?

When I installed 2008.1 (IIRC) I had to chain load it, due to a glitch or improvement in grub. I can't remember exactly why or how I went about it.

 

Someone will pass through here knowing how it is done.
