Dear Sirs:
I have a computer system with a 40 Gb hard drive. 30 Gb is partitioned
for Windows XP and the rest is partitioned for Linux. I regularly boot
Linux from a floppy, but I would like to get GRUB installed on the hard
drive eventually. As a start I have copied GRUB to a floppy. I can boot
into Windows successfully using the chainloader command. But I cannot
boot into Linux. Below is the sequence of commands and responses that I
get. It is consistent.
start by booting from floppy
GRUB loading Stage 2
GRUB version 0.92 (640K lower / 261056K upper memory)
[Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB
lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible
completions of a device/filename]
grub>root (hd0,4)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
grub>kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda5
Error 15: file not found
The Linux /boot directory lists vmlinuz as a link, and it also lists 4
other files beginning with vmlinu, then either x or z, followed by
-2.14.18-4 I have tried all possible combinations on the 'kernel' line
with no success. I also tried
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda5
When I boot from the Linux boot floppy, I get a message telling it is
booting from /dev/hda5, so that is correct. Please suggest what I am
doing wrong.
