The 2.3 series is 10 years old... i have tried it but i could not boot debian but i can boot Rhel Unless you want to use a chroot, it is impossible to do what you are asking to do. So, what *exactly* do you want to do? Replace RHEL with Debian? Or do you think that you can mix and match RHEL with Debian? first i have insttled debian 5.0(Lenny) . it has three partitions (/,/boot and swap) all the three are primary partition. after that i have installled rhel5(2.3 kernel). i can able to boot only linux . can you help me to overcome this.

Are you SURE it's a 2.3 kernel? I'm quite sure RHEL5 uses a 2.6 kernel. I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to do. Is it: 1. Have a dual-boot system, where at boot time you can choose to boot RHEL5 or Debian? 2. Run Debian in a chroot under RHEL5, so you can run Debian commands, and a Debian desktop environment, under RHEL5? 3. Replace your RHEL5 installation with a Debian installation? If it's 1, you just need to install Debian to an unused partition on your hard drive somewhere. If you don't have an unused partition, I guess you could add another hard drive to the machine. Or mess around with partition resizers. If it's 2, this is possible, but more difficult. I've done it. If this is really what you want, I can give you some guidance. If it's 3, well that's easy. Just point the Debian installer to your current / partition. -- Kevin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Install Debian first, on one small disk partition for boot, one large partition for the OS, with one swap. Install GRUB into the MBR. Install Red Hat next, on one disk partition, using LVM and with its own swap inside LVM. Add the Red Hat grub entries in /boot/grub/grub.conf to the Debian GRUB stanza. The snag: Red Hat has acls and extended attributes in its version of ext3 - which may mean that Debian won't read Red Hat file systems. Ask smarter questions, detailing what you've already done and we'll be better able to help you. RHEL kernel is 2.6.18-92 or thereabouts - the main kernel version is 2.6.18 with a ton of patches.
