GRUB problems !!
 

I am having Win XP and RH 8.0 on 2 different disks. Everything
was working fine till I did something with GRUB and now am not
able to get it back to where I want it. I am using a rescue disk to
boot.

My grub.conf file is empty and here is what I have entered into
that file

title Red Hat (2.4.18-27.8.0)
root(hd1,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-27.8.0 root=/dev/hdb3
init

It fails at 'kernel' line saying file not found.

If I choose Win XP option it fails too 'executable not found'.


Any ideas where I am going wrong ??

Really appreciate a response.

This is the output of fdisk -l , if it helps.

Here's my config (also booting two disks with grub in the mbr):
# 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 (hd1,0)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hdc2
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd1,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-14)
root (hd1,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /initrd-2.4.18-14.img
title DOS

Hope that helps,
