Err i seemed to have missed the post. Here is what i am talking about. Once u press c at the grub menu grub> root (hd0,4) Filesystem type is jfs, partition type 0x83 grub> kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda5 [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1400, size=0x108a19] grub>initrd /initrd.img [Linux-initrd @ 0x1debc000, 0x124000 bytes] grub> boot Please do the above and post > "Boot unsuccessful. > /dev/hda7(/ for Ubuntu) had vmlinuz as symlink to boot/vmlinuz- > 2.6.20-16-generic and a vmlinuz.old as symlink to boot/vmlinuz- > 2.6.20-15-generic,both owned by root and 777 permissions. > Similarly,initrd.img was symlink to symlinks work with grub as long as they are on the same partition as the grub root (hd0,4) in the abv example. Grub has auto completion like bash. Hitting tab after a command will show what grub wants and or sees. at the grub prompt type root (hd and hit the tab key, grub will list the disks that it sees. next type (hd0 and hit tab grub should give u a list of partitions. next type (hd0,4) and hit enter. Grub should give you a line like Filesystem type is jfs, partition type 0x83 type kernel / and hit tab. Grub will show a list of files. > > Here you see one. ;) just a communication gap methinks. -- Rgds JTD -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
