Hello list member, I have hashed this out with a handful of people on the fedora list and have had no luck making it work in any permutation.
I have Fedora 7 installed on sda, it has a /dev/sda1 for /boot and grub was installed to the mbr. It boots Fedora fine. I have Mandriva 2008 installed on sdb, it has a /dev/sdb1 for /boot and grub was installed on the sdb mbr. I would like to make an stanza in the fedora menu.lst file that will pass control to the grub installed on sdb's mbr. I want to do this so that when mandriva updates the kernel I will not have to modify the menu.lst in the fedora installation. Note: I can boot mandriva from the stanza that I created in the Fedora 7 menu.lst file, but if mandriva updates the kernel then I have to modify the stanza. I have tried almost every permutation of the following: title Mandriva 2008 rootnoverify (hd1,0) makeactive chainloader +1 I have tried it with chainloader, chainloader (hd1,0), chainloader (hd1,0)+1. I have tried with root (hd1,0). I thought I had read somewhere one time that this could be done, but I cannot find it any where. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated. -- John Registered Linux User 263680, get counted at http://counter.li.org _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
