2 linux at the same machine - Grub config


Noon

It may sound strange for some, but I actually have FC3 and recently installed FC4 at the same machine.
The problem is I can't get both to work together.
I skipped the GRUB config at FC4 install and configured the FC3 file manually, and here's how it is:


default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,5)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora Core 3 (2.6.9-1.667)
root (hd0,4)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667 ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.9-1.667.img
title Fedora (2.6.11-1.1369)
root (hd0,5)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.img
title Windows 2000
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1


The problem is that FC4 simply won't boot.
What I get is my FC3 booting with the 2.6.11 kernel :P
FC3 and Windows are booting normally.
Beeing that the first time I'm installing 2 linuxes at the same machine, I'm 105% I've done something wrong.

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.
