I dediced to try Ubunto on my last partition. It doesn't boot.
I have a 74gig SATA HDD, with partitions:
1: ~30gig, NTFS, Windows XP
2: ~29gig, ext3, Fedora Core 3
3: ~1gig, swap
4: ~9gig, ext3, Ubuntu
my grub.conf:
Code:
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.
# root (hd0,1)
# kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda2
# initrd /boot/initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda

I'm almost sure it has something to do with the root(blah) lines, or maybe the kernel stuff (but i got that off ubuntu forums i think, so taht should be right, except maybe kernel version?).
