grub is driving me nuts ;----(
I have a dual boot laptop and happy happy made the windows partition smaller and the linux bigger.
I also put the linux part from logical to primary type. This worked with some sweat. Now I got a grub problem. Grub won't start anymore, always shows up with the command prompt. I can start linux after giving it root (hd0,2) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 ro root=/dev/hda3 initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.20-8.img and then boot I thought that the grub.conf file was wrong, but I type exactly what is in there and it works. And furthermore, when I use "configfile /etc/grub.conf", then the nice screen where you can select the two operaring systems appears (which I want again). How come Grub does not read the grub.conf file and I have to point it to it? What am I missing here? |
Perhaps grub isn't installed correctly.
Make sure that /boot/grub/grub.conf is correct, then try running as root /sbin/grub-install to re-install it.

It's supposed to be in /boot/grub/grub.conf . I also recommend making a symlink to /boot/grub/menu.lst. Try that and tell us how it went .:)

Oh yes, no more being nuts!
Yes my friends, that did it!
Thanks a million. The link was already made, but seemes that my little partitioning adventure somehow deinstalled grub. Reinstalling it did the job nicely! Thanks Markus |
