manually edit FC4 grub.conf to add Ubuntu
Before the fact: What am I doing?
I'm attempting to add Ubuntu info to FC4 boot. I'm in FC4 now. And yes, grub is starting to make sense, but I haven't done this yet... Question: Do I still need boot under Ubuntu option? In front of me I have two files: From FC4 there is /boot/grub/grub.conf From Ubuntu there is /boot/grub/menu.lst They are on separate drives. FC4 has to be primary because there is a w2k install there too. I have to explain to Ubuntu that it is still wanted, and all those lovely memory checks under menu.lst are appreciated. But Ubuntu can no longer be the primary boot. (I need windoze for work) But before I reboot I'm just wondering.... Code:
#boot=/dev/hda ubuntu info from /boot/grub/menu.lst but am changing the drive (and text) from root (hd0,0) to rootnoverify (hd1,0) -- I'm guessing on this rootnoverify bit to point Ubuntu to /dev/hdb Because if Code:
# fdisk -l and hdb = hd1 - ok. mebbe i already know this.. Just want to keep the reader up to date... Here goes: Code:
splashimage=(hd0,10)/grub/splash.xpm.gz I'm going to hold off for a bit here.... IMHO: fdisk -l is an much overlooked gem! But why does fedora boot off root (hd0,10) when fdisk -l says it's: hda13? Code:

It worked:
Code:
# grub.conf generated by anaconda Note: I also missed /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-386 root=/dev/hda1 ro quiet splash should be /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-386 root=/dev/hdb1 ro quiet splash Quote: Originally Posted by alar Code:
