GRUB configuration for SuSE 9.1 / Fedora Core 2...


Greets,

Hey, I'm trying to configure GRUB to boot into SuSE Linux 9.1 and Fedora Core 2.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to find the Kernel of each OS to boot...so I can make it so each one boots in GRUB.

As currently I can only access Fedora Core 2, and have SuSE 9, but will have 9.1 on my computer soon (I know it uses a different kernel), so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

" I'm trying to configure GRUB to boot into SuSE Linux 9.1 and Fedora Core 2."

You have, or will have, multiple grub configuration files on your various distributions. However, you have only one MBR and that MBR only points to a single grub configurations file. You make all of your changes to the grub configuration file that the MBR points to. All of the other grub configuration files are irrelevant.

"As currently I can only access Fedora Core 2"

I take this to mean that your MBR points to the Fedora Core 2 configuration file in /boot/grub/grub.conf.
So to get SuSE 9.0 in your bootloader, edit /boot/grub/grub.conf in Fedora Core 2 and add a title section for SuSE 9.0. You may also have to edit the timeout parameter.

When you install SuSE 9.1 tell the SuSE installer to create a boot floppy for you but tell the SuSE installer to NOT change the MBR. Then edit /boot/grub/grub.conf in Fedora Core 2 and add a title section for SuSE 9.1.

When you are editing /boot/grub/grub.conf you can use the existing title section as a pattern for the extra title sections. Here is a grub manual:
