I hope not. Where did you install GRUB? In the MBR (of /dev/hda) or in the |
| 13 |
boot sector of /dev/hda1? Does your /boot/grub/grub.conf have the right |
| 14 |
settings to match that? Here's an example from mine, which has all Linux |
| 15 |
systems on the second disk (I use BootMagic to get me to /dev/hdb2; sorry |
| 16 |
about the wrap - the kernel line is all one): |

kernel (hd1,1)/kernel-2.6.14-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/hdb7 |

Here you can see that /dev/hdb2 is my boot partition, 100MB like yours, |
| 25 |
where the kernel file is stored, and that my Xfce root partition is |
| 26 |
/dev/hdb7, a logical partition (inside /dev/hda4 though that doesn't matter). |
