Anyway, you can put any root hd(n,m) you

wouldn't work.
Well, I've never tried to do that, but using root(hdx,y) in menu.lst
to locate kernels at boot time works fine for me. I have kernels on
two different partitions, one of which is not the partition where the
grub install is. And grub finds those kernels. How could it do that
if root(hdx,y) was being ignored? Here's the relevant part of my
menu.lst:
# LFS SVN entry
title LFS 20051005 (2.6.14.7-1)
root (hd1,0)
kernel /kernel/kernel-2.6.14.7-1 root=/dev/hdb6 vga=789
# LFS Alphabetical w/udev_update
title LFS Alpha 20060307 (2.6.16.18-1)
root (hd1,4)
kernel /boot/kernel/kernel-2.6.16.18-1 root=/dev/hdb5 vga=789
How is it finding this second kernel?
