doubt in editing "grub.conf" in multi distro machine
hi there,
i had windows XP and redhat 9 just now i installed slackware 10.1 on my machine, but haven't installed the lilo.conf. now i'm inside the red hat and have mounted the slackware on "/mnt/slack" .... now the entries of grub.conf of redhat 9 are Code:
cat grub.conf Code:
config diag1.img System.map vmlinuz but what i doubt is that there is no initrd.....img file in the slackware !!! .... plz. tell me which file from /boot of slack should i copy into "gurb.conf" of redhat. regards |
I'd like to know how you're going to get it to work since I've planned about installing another distro, or two more, to be precise. :)
But you don't have to worry about the initrd img file missing, apparently Slackware has everything it needs to boot built into the kernel. You could try adding the following to your Red Hat grub.conf, although I'm certainly not sure about this. It really depends if you have Slackware on a single partition or more, I'm assuming it's on one. title Slackware 10.1 root (hd[insert the correct one here]) kernel /boot/vmlinuz ro root=/dev/hdaX Of course, replace X with the correct number. Maybe someone else who knows better should check that out before you try it, although I doubt it's going to fry your hard drive. :) |
it all worked man!!!

Here are the new entries of "grub.conf" of redhat 9
Code:
title Red Hat Linux 9 (2.4.20-8) |
Can someone tell me what does "root=LABEL=/" signifies here.....???

Glad to hear it worked. :) I don't know about root=LABEL=/ though.

root=LABEL=/ is just the name for your root partition. If you look at /etc/fstab it will tell you that LABEL=/ is mounted on /
