But, also, when i mount sdc (as rh7.3 on hd1 calls it), i can see in /etc/fstab that / is on the second partition -- grub.conf reads partition num 1 on hd2 as having filesystem type ext2fs, and partition type 0x83 the problem is that grub reports the possible hd2 kernel files as being vmlinuz-2.4.18-3, not rh9's vmlinuz-2.4.20-8...which is strange, because, again, in hd2 the fstab data is reported in LABELs, which is rh9 jargon, yes? mebbe i have a faulty grub, but i doubt i'd have 2 bad grubs in a row. Still, every other time i query root (hd1,0) kernel / info i get either only filesystem tyupand partition type info, or an error...and every other time i query grub.conf for root (hd2,0) kernel/ i get the possible fields or just filesystem type and partition type info. (and that is not my typing, either as i just replace 2 with 1 and hit return...) how to alter the kernel info grub has? I cannot tell from the manual (i feel like i am going in circles...) and don't know enuf to use setup or kernel commands. I tried reinstalling linux, but just got the situation in reverse (neither grub recognized the other linux disk -- just treats them like an extension of itself, more or less... _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
