My /boot directory is /dev/hda1 - it contains both the bzImage and the |
| 13 |
menu.lst. The root system is at /dev/hda2 |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
The Grub menu comes up, and I can select a kernel to boot off of, no |
| 16 |
problem. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
My grub is set up with "root (hd0,0)" and "setup (hd0)") |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
My menu.lst specifies root as (hd0,0) and |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda2 |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Am I missing something? |

This is usually the result of specifying incorrect filesystem parameters |
| 41 |
to the boot loader. Are you keeping in mind the array-like numbering |
| 42 |
scheme (012345...) for disk partitions when configuring grub? Are you |
| 43 |
remembering to turn that logic off and name your root partition as the |
| 44 |
OS |
| 45 |
understands it for the kernel parameter 'root='? |
