Here's my problem, I'm not sure if this is the right forum though:
I'm running Fedora Core 3 on my first HD, and I've installed Slackware 10.1 on my second.
I have yet to be able to boot into my newly installed Distro even though my second HD is set to be bootable :?
Code:
[root@localhost ~]# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/hda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 13 104391 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 14 9729 78043770 8e Linux LVM
Disk /dev/hdb: 80.0 GB, 80060424192 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9733 cylinders

/dev/hdb1 * 1 9609 77184261 83 Linux
/dev/hdb2 9610 9733 996030 82 Linux swap
I've done a search and can't find anything that helps me.
I've looked in my Slackware /boot directory
Code:
[root@localhost ~]# mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/hdb1/
[root@localhost ~]# cd /mnt/hdb1/boot/
[root@localhost boot]# ls
boot.0341 config-ide-2.4.29 README.initrd vmlinuz
boot_message.txt diag1.img System.map vmlinuz-ide-2.4.29
config map System.map-ide-2.4.29
[root@localhost boot]#
as you can see, there is no initrd-ide-2.4.26.img file.
That makes me think I'll have a problem putting
Code:
title Slackware 10.1
root (hd0,0) #assuming I copy the appropriate files to (hd0,0)/boot/grub#
kernel /vmlinuz-ide-2.4.29 ro root=/dev/hdb1 quiet
initrd /initrd-ide-2.4.29.img
in my grub.conf file.
Can anyone help, or point me in the direction of help?
