I have been trying to write a grub.conf that works. I have been looking at all kinds of examples on the web. Besides not being able to load linux, the screen is completely distored and black and white. Although, It will load windows.

If anyone has a grub.conf that loads windows and linux, could you post it for me.

It would be best if I could get anaconda to generate one specific to my setup

here is what I got

splashimage=(hd0,4)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
timeout=50
default=1
title Redhat 9
root (hd0,4)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-20.9 ro root=/dev/hda5 hdb=ide-scsi
initrd /initrd-2.4,20-20.9.img
title Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd0,1)
chainloader +1

This is my fdisk -l
