Because a /boot partition is used. On the boot partition which is mounted on /boot, the absolute path name of the kernel image is /vmlinuz-2.4..... The /boot partition is specified with GRUB's root(hd?,?) command. GRUB's "root" partition is the /boot partiton. ;o) > But I think it may lead to my trouble; > ------------------------------------------ > here is my problem: > I plus an other harddesk which contain a RH8 to a box > that have a RH9. > RH9 is in hdb, / is hdb7 and /boot is hdb6. > rh8 is in hdc, it's / is hdc5 and /boot is hdc1; > I want to boot in to RH9 : > the gurb menu of RH9 gen by redhat is like this: > root (hd0,5) (the hdb1 is a fat32 with winxp ,grub is in mbr) > kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 ro root=/LABEL=/ > initrd /initrd-2.4.20-8.img > > this can't boot correctly as I plus the hdc on the box, Should be: root=LABEL=/ > It told me multi / is found ,and stop in the syslog as many faild > had been given before! > well, I try to boot manual,I type this: > root (hd0,5) > kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 root=/dev/hdb7 > grub told me file not found As explained above, the file "vmlinuz-2.4.20-8" is on your /boot partition, hence you would type: root (hd0,5) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 root=/dev/hdb7 Or: kernel (hd0,5)/vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 root=/dev/hdb7 > If I try : > kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 root=/dev/hdb7 > it pass! then with the same initrd param > It start to boot but with the same faild at the end! > > so how can I boot correctly it I had two hd with LABEL /? > Any advice would be appreciate! - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+4xxF0iMVcrivHFQRAtX7AJ4xTgp0MW+mXGaDB5qtJwUzfrIsEACfRGHX gFNAilKiXdyguK7ceY/WtX0= =X5Ha -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
