GRUB.CONF issues/troubles
ok, heres my setup:
Computer #1 12GB RedHat 9 Master 40GB XP Pro Slave (both on primary ide) here is my GRUB.CONF # 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/hdb2 # initrd /initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/hdb default=1 timeout=10 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-8bigmem) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-8bigmem ro root=LABEL=/ hdd=ide-scsi initrd /initrd-2.4.20-8bigmem.img title Red Hat Linux-smp (2.4.20-8smp) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-8smp ro root=LABEL=/ hdd=ide-scsi initrd /initrd-2.4.20-8smp.img title Red Hat Linux-up (2.4.20-8) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 ro root=LABEL=/ hdd=ide-scsi initrd /initrd-2.4.20-8.img title Windows XP Professional rootnoverify (hd1,0) chainloader +1 but now... when i choose to boot up in linux it works fine, but when i choose to put up in windows, i get hung at this screen Booting "Windows XP Professional"... rootnoverify (hd1,0) chainloader +1 it just hangs there and i have to reboot and boot into linux to get my computer to work. why does it hang? it's something in my GRUB.CONF i believe... something isn't config right... also, why do i have 3 linux options? i know the first on is the MAIN one... can i delete the other two? thanks |
Three linux options for three linux kernels: one for systems with exceptionally large amounts of memory, one for systems with more than one CPU (or a hyperthreaded CPU), one for "normal" systems. You could delete the ones you don't use, but there really isn't any compelling reason to.
Try putting a "makeactive" command after your rootnoverify (hd1,0) |
it just hangs at
Booting 'Windows XP Professional' rootnoverify (hd1,0) makeactive chainloader +1 it's got to be something to do with chainloader... for some reason windows isn't booting. note: i haven't done ANYTHING to the windows hard disk dealing with boot loaders or anything. |
anyone out there? i'm still hangin here! : (
|
I meant for you to put "makeactive" on a separate line, so that you have
rootnoverify (hd1,0) makeactive chainloader +1 |
oh ok, lemme see if it will work.
