A few things look odd to me: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
1. Isn't (hd1,2) the same device as /dev/sdb2? It looks like your /boot |
| 26 |
and / are the same here... |
| 27 |
2. The normal name for the kernel is "vmlinuz-...". You have "kernel-..." |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
So, which partition actually contains /boot? |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
How are you switching between grub versions? Important: if you are |
| 32 |
changing the disk boot order in the BIOS, you need to remember that grub |
| 33 |
always defines (hd0) as the currently booting drive...regardless of the |
| 34 |
order of the drives in the system. So you may need to change everything |
| 35 |
to be (hd0,X). |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Can you get to a grub command line, and do a "find /kernel-2.6.12-r6"? |
