GRUB timeout problem
hi memebers
problem is that i have to press ENTER each time.
timeout option is not working on my PC to boot the
default OS. i m running Redhat 9. i have tried to make
/boot active but WinXP
refused to boot. reinstalling is not an option as it
is behaving the same from the first boot. mb is ASUS
P4SGX-MX.
this is my grub.conf file
# 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 (hd0,1)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda6
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,1)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
title Red Hat Linux
root (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 ro root=/dev/hda6
initrd /initrd-2.4.20-8.img
this is output for fdisk command.
