Interesting; once you have a working system, it would be good to get the full kernel messages with 2.6. > But I'm not sure how to set up booting.

If you load the the ntfs module by hand before installing GRUB, it will find your Windows XP installation and offer this as an option when booting. You can also install GRUB on a specific partition, but I've no idea how you can boot this from the Windows boot loader. Maybe someone else can give more advice about this. > BTW I tried skipping bootloader configuration and booting with a > rescue disk -- didn't work so well.

That's probably because the kernel is different to the kernel modules on your hard drive. -- Martin Michlmayr [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
