It did not work for me, so I ended up with this:
It might work for him if he doesn't need to specify any kernel arguments (I have never seen a system without a 'root=' argument though) | title Debian GNU/Linux 2.2.17 | root (hd1,0) | kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17 hdd=ide-scsi root=/dev/hdb1 | | Which works fine. Before it didn't seemed unable to use: | | kernel /vmlinuz | | because it is a symlink? Also root (hd1,1) failed to work. No, the symlink should be no problem. (hd1,1) would fail on your system because that is /dev/hdb2 -- remember that grub uses 0-based indexing for everything. -D
