2 quick questions (kernel and grub)
1:
I just installed Debian from the network install disk for the Sarge distro. (testing). I am currently running kernel [uname -a Linux * 2.4.25-1-386 #2 Wed Apr 14 19:38:08 EST 2004 i686 GNU/Linux] and I want to upgrade to a newer kernel. I used apt-cache search function and found [kernel-image-2.6.8-1-386 - Linux kernel image for version 2.6.8 on 386] is this what I should install? Is there any possibilty of it messing anything up? (I would not think so as newer kernels are supposed to have better support correct?) 2: I have 3 hard drives, 1 SCSI and 2 IDE and Linux is installed on one of the IDE drives. Windows is installed on the SCSI drive, allthough I had to format the other IDE drive first befor I could install Windows on the SCSI (is this because of the MBR having to be on an IDE drive in a SCSI IDE dual use?)... Anyway, GRUB does not detect the installation of Windows... so I can not boot to it very easily... how do I add Windows to the GRUB menu? Thanks for any help in advance :) |
Greetings,
I don't use grub, lilo instead - however http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html would be my first search option. Second, to answer QUESTION 2: this is the entry for windows in my /etc/lilo.conf file. I wouldn't copy this, but I hope it helps. I have one hard drive hdc1 is the dell system diagnostics hdc2 is windows XP ..and the rest i don't know.. :( sorry Code:
# File generated by DrakX/drakboot s is scsi d means disk (not to worry about this) a is the physical disk (a being scsi 0, b being scsi 1, etc - I THINK) 1 is partition (1, 2, 3, etc) Hope I helped... |
