May be we should've also used "search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 59c82698-6fcc-4512-a51c-261348d637da" rather than "set root='(hd2,msdos2)'" just to be sure to be using the correct partition. However, I'm not sure that it would've worked. Even though you can chainload grub2 from grub1 with "kernel /boot/grub/core.img", I can't seem to be able to chainload grub2 from grub2 with "linux /boot/grub/core.img". "configfile ..." workd (thankfully) but it isn't quite what I wanted to check... Sorry. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
