Hi Bill, Each Linux install partitions has /boot and /boot/grub of their own. I do not have a separate boot partition.
I had replaced "root" commands in all my boot stanzas with "uuid" lines because with disks added/removed "root (hdm,n)" spec becomes a moving target, and boot process often fails. I always thought that in line e.g. "kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-24-generic", the path is relative to the device declared as root either by a "root (hdm,n)" line, or by a "uuid ...." line. Am I wrong? If so what is the right way of specifying my kernel/initrd lines? Thanks. -----Original message----- > Date: Thu, 17 Dec 2009 14:29:22 -0500 > From: Bill Marcum <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: Two GRUB setup can boot one each of two installs, but not > the other, why? > To: [email protected] > Cc: [email protected] > Message-ID: <[email protected]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > > On Thu, Dec 17, 2009 at 08:27:50AM -0500, [email protected] wrote: > > > > Hi, > > [my info removed, for brevity] > > > Does each have its own /boot directory, or do you have a /boot partition? > If they are separate directories, I think each grub is looking for the > kernel and initrd.img files in its own /boot directory. > I notice that each stanza has "root hd(....)" commented out. > > > _______________________________________________ Help-grub mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-grub
