Booting raw XP in vmware under gentoo, grub Error 17
I have a dual-boot system with XP home edition and gentoo 1.4. My bootloader is grub. I want to use Vmware 4 with gentoo as the host and XP as the guest OS. On my system I have the following partitions (using grub notation):
(hd0,0) Dell diagnostics (FAT16)
(hd0,1) XP Home edition (NTFS)
(hd0,4) /boot partition (ext2)
(hd0,5) swap
(hd0,6) my root partition (reiserfs)
I've configured vmware to use the existing XP installation (hd0,1) as the guest OS.
When starting the vm the bios runs successfully but grub fails with Error 17.
What am I missing?
My grub.conf:
timeout 30
default 0
fallback 1
splashimage=(hd0,4)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Gentoo
root (hd0,4)
kernel (hd0,4)/boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda7
title Windows boot menu
rootnoverify (hd0,1)
