So far so good, assuming /vmlinuz is a link pointing to /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.4-1-686 > image=/vmlinuz > label=Debian_2.4.22 > vga=0xf04 > root=/dev/hda2 > initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.22-x1.gz > append="rw acpi=on " > image=/vmlinuz > label=Safe_2.4.22 > vga=0xf04 > root=/dev/hda2 > initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.22-x1.gz > append="3 rw acpi=on " Why does this one ---^ use the same as the two before it? That should be: image=/vmlinuz.old (or something) and you should do: ln -s /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.22-x1 /vmlinuz.old > image=/vmlinuz > label=Expert > vga=normal > root=/dev/hda2 > initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.4-1-686.gz > append="single rw acpi=on " And that's wretched excess. You already have 2.6.4-1-686 defined above (the top two), and anything you're doing with any of them can be done with boot prompt parameters (vga, acpi, single). That's probably what you need to sort out. However, you're also using reiserfs and devfs, two things I've never bothered with so it's time to hand off to others. > Output of mount command: > > /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2 on / type reiserfs (rw) > proc on /proc type proc (rw) > devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) > tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) > usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw,devmode=0666) > automount(pid671) on /var/autofs/floppy.1 type autofs > (rw,fd=4,pgrp=671,minproto=2,maxproto=9) > automount(pid663) on /var/autofs/cdrom.1 type autofs > (rw,fd=4,pgrp=663,minproto=2,maxproto=9) > /dev/floppy/0 on /mnt/fd0 type minix (rw,nosuid,nodev) > > Output of fdisk -l (three times, for hda, hda1 and hda2): Only the first (/dev/hda) is significant. fdisk on a partition is undefined or wrong. > Disk /dev/hda: 14.1 GB, 14135869440 bytes > 240 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1826 cylinders > Units = cylinders of 15120 * 512 = 7741440 bytes > > Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System > /dev/hda1 1 68 514048+ 82 Linux swap > /dev/hda2 * 69 1826 13290480 83 Linux -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
