Usually, IDE disks come before SCSI in the BIOS (hda is IDE, sda is SCSI) so if you did not have the hda before and you have added it recently, then it would become hd0 and sda would become hd1. If that is the case, then you will also not be able to boot the SUSE partition either for the moment (same Error 15: file not found). > > Here are the two grub menu.lst entries: > > title SUSE LINUX 10.0 > root (hd0,0) > kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 vga=0x336 selinux=0 > initrd /boot/initrd > > title LFS 6.1.1 > root (hd1,0) > kernel /boot/lfskernel-2.6.11.12 root=/dev/hda1 > > This yields the following error when the LFS entry is chosen at > boot time: > > kernel /boot/lfskernel-2.6.11.12 root=/dev/hda1 > Error 15: file not found > > I've also tried 'root (hd0,0)' for the LFS entry, but still the > same error. Hmmm, if my above theory is correct, then I would expect that to work.... Try an interactive grub session as pv suggested. > > Any ideas ? Are you using virtual disks (files) or raw partitions? If files, you should be able to remove the hda from the vm config and re-add the same files to the config as a scsi disk. It would then become sdb and hd1 in grub. -- Barius -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
