Dual booting Win XP & RedHat 7.2 problem
On an older PC, I dual booted Win XP & RedHat 7.2 fine - each one was on a separate drive and everyone was happy. On a new PC, I installed the same second drive that I had used for RedHat 72. along with the drive already present and now I cannot get RedHat 7.2 to work - I get the following error:
Booting 'RedHat Linux(2.4.7-10)' Root (hd1,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 Kernel /vmlinux-2.4.7-10 ro root = /dev/hb2 hdc = ide - scsi [Linux - bzImage, setup = 0x1400, size = 0x51651 Error 28: Selected item cannot fit into memory Press any key to continue I cannot afford to pull any more hair out - any help will be appreciated. |

Yes - I failed to mention that I also use a Zip dive - maybe this makes more sense

so wait are you using your zipdrive to boot up linux? oof.. I never thought that was possbile using grub (if you were using grub btw ) lol ;x
|
The Zip drive should, I hope, not be involved in booting up.

Were you using LILO or GRUB to dual boot in the old system or NTLDR?
If LILO-Have you tried telling LILO where your Linux partition is? Sorry i've never used GRUB but I think it works the same. This example tells LILO that the bootable partition is on the second partition-(2) of the second-(b) IDE hard drive. linux root=/dev/hdb2 Quote:

it is hb2 - my error

I had the exact same problem with an ASUS A7N266-VM MoBo. I upgraded to GRUB .93 and was finally able to boot. You can get it from here: http://people.debian.org/~nobse/debi...ckported/grub/
