GRUB can not load WinXP Pro!
I just installed the WinXP Pro and Redhat Linux 9.0 on my laptop. I use GRUB as loader. I can boot into Linux without any problem. But GRUB just hangs there when I instruct it to boot into DOS(WinXP). The partition on my harddisk is:
MB /dev/hda /dev/hda1 ext3 125 /boot /dev/hda2 extended 57106 /dev/hda5 NTFS 16387 /dev/hda6 NTFS 20481 /dev/hda7 SWAP 2047 /dev/hda8 vfat 2047 /work /dev/hda9 ext3 16143 / Win XP is on hda5. My grub.conf is # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. # root (hd0,0) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda9 # initrd /initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/hda default=2 timeout=10 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz password --md5 $1$Y/JLZWK2$jbb95uw8I8HscYvxTYmjw/ title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-20.9) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-20.9 ro root=LABEL=/ hdb=ide-scsi initrd /initrd-2.4.20-20.9.img title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-8) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 ro root=LABEL=/ hdb=ide-scsi initrd /initrd-2.4.20-8.img title DOS map (hd0,0) (hd0,4) map (hd0,4) (hd0,0) rootnoverify (hd0,4) chainloader +1 Every time I try to boot into WinXP , the screen shows: map (hd0,0) (hd0,4) map (hd0,4) (hd0,0) rootnoverify (hd0,4) chainloader +1 and just stay there. Thanks a lot for your help, sean |
