Triple boot problem Win XP,FC1 & FC3

Joe47 · 12-20-2004, 07:16 PM

I am trying to run Windows XP, Fedora Core 1 & Fedora Core 3
Iam using Grub but it does not show up upon boot. I changed my HDD geometry
before adding FC3. Here is [joe@localhost ~]$ cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
cat: /boot/grub/grub.conf: Permission denied
[joe@localhost ~]$ su
Password:
[root@localhost joe]# cat /boot/grub/grub.conf

# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file

Any suggestions on how I might make grub work for all 3 operating systems ?
Thank you

compare my config file and yours.

Code:

default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,5)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
#hiddenmenu
title Fedora Core (2.6.9-1.681_FC3)
        root (hd0,5)
        kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.681_FC3 ro root=/dev/hda6
        initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.9-1.681_FC3.img
title CENTOS 3.3 (2.4.21-20)
        root (hd1,0)
        kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21-20.EL.c0 ro root=/dev/hdb1
        initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.21-20.EL.c0.img
