I want grub to be independent from any OS installed: grub1 is on hda1, grub2 on hda9. Debians '/boot/' and '/' (containing the symlink) lives on hda3 cat /etc/fstab | grep boot cat /etc/fstab | grep hda1 cat /etc/fstab | grep hda9 there is no entry (boot, hda1 or hda9) in (hda3)/etc/fstab grub1 (sees it from hda1) works with symlink 'vmlinuz', grub2 (from hda9) doesn't. But grub2 works properly with symlink 'initrd.img' on the same partition, created by the same Debian-script. Booting from hda3: ls -l / lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 2008-01-30 18:21 initrd.img -> boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-6-k7 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 2008-01-30 18:21 vmlinuz -> boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-6-k7 Booting from Kanotix-Live-CD: ls -l /media/hda3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 2008-01-30 18:21 initrd.img -> boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-6-k7 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 2008-01-30 18:21 vmlinuz -> boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-6-k7 Christian _______________________________________ GRATIS: Movie-FLAT.
