Hi, I've been messing with grub without accomplishing much, accept an occasional kernel panic, error fs not found and an hour or more rescuing my system. I let grub do most of the work on the configuration that follows and it actually boots debian, with the SuSE kernel!!! Damn!!!! I think I understand that since it plugged in the only drive/partition it sees. I'm thinking that I need to add my other drive /dev/hdb and its partitions to fstab. BUT altering fstab can be fatal to the os, I've learned the hard way, so how would I do that? Thanks Oh and I have had the correct partitions listed in grub/menu.1st, but it can't find the filesystem(s) on hdb. gfxmenu (hd0,4)/message color white/blue black/light-gray default 0 timeout 8 title linux kernel (hd0,4)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda7 vga=791 initrd (hd0,4)/initrd title floppy root (fd0) chainloader +1 title failsafe kernel (hd0,4)/vmlinuz.shipped root=/dev/hda7 ide=nodma apm=off acpi=off vga=normal nosmp maxcpus=0 disableapic 3 initrd (hd0,4)/initrd.shipped title windows_me root (hd0) chainloader +1 makeactive title debian3.0 kernel (hd0,4)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb5 title slackware9.0 kernel (hd0,4)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb2
