I have 3 SATA drives, with grub in the MBR of hd0.
I have three OS installed, one in HD0,0 HD0,9 the other in HD1,0.
I have tried several different boot methods. The latest one is this:
Menu.lst of hd0,9/boot/grub;
timeout 10
color black/cyan yellow/cyan
gfxmenu (hd0,9)/boot/gfxmenu
default 0
title linux
kernel (hd0,9)/boot/vmlinuz BOOT_IMAGE=linux root=LABEL=root
splash=silent vga=788
initrd (hd0,9)/boot/initrd.img
title linux-nonfb
kernel (hd0,9)/boot/vmlinuz BOOT_IMAGE=linux-nonfb root=LABEL=root
linux-nonfb
initrd (hd0,9)/boot/initrd.img
title failsafe
kernel (hd0,9)/boot/vmlinuz BOOT_IMAGE=failsafe root=LABEL=root failsafe
initrd (hd0,9)/boot/initrd.img
title Mageia
configfile (hd1,0)/boot/grub/menu.lst
menu.lst of hd1,0/boot/grub is:
timeout 10
color black/cyan yellow/cyan
gfxmenu (hd1,0)/boot/gfxmenu
default 0
title linux
kernel (hd1,0)/boot/vmlinuz BOOT_IMAGE=linux root=LABEL=newroot
splash=silent vga=788
initrd (hd1,0)/boot/initrd.img
title windows
root (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
My problem is whatever method I use, I cannot boot from hd1,0.
Error is partition doesn't exist.
Pressing return to continue and attempting to boot from hd0,9, produces
an error about number of cylinders being wrong ( don't remember exactly
). Only cure is a soft reboot.
If someone would point me in the right direction or let me know whatever
other info I need to supply, I'd be most grateful.
