1 Hi!

3 Whenever someone has Grub problems it'd be a good idea to not only post
4 grub.conf but more importantly infos about the disk layouts (and fstab
5 to round it up).
6
7 In your case there seems to be a couple of things to verify.
8
9 I assume that Grub didn't come up with its initial dialog? That usually
10 means that it couldn't find /boot/grub/grub.conf using it's stage
11 drivers in /boot/grub.
12
13 With root (hd0,1) you force Grub to load an OS from the second partition
14 of your first physical disk. Does /dev/hda4 reflect this situation?
15
16 So in short: you have to tell Grub where to find /boot/grub/grub.conf
17
18 But for detailed forensics I'd need more intel.
