I use Grub to boot several things from my first hard disk. Grub is installed
on the MBR, version 0.93-4, and it has always worked fine. I recently added
another disk, and installed Fedora on it. When I try to boot it, Grub
complains that it can't find the files it needs to boot Fedora.
The strange thing about this is that if I, when Grub shows its menu, edit the
two lines "kernel (hd1,7)..." and "initrd (hd1,7)..." by deleting the last
few characters of the file names and then using tab completion, I can boot
Fedora. I actuallly don't change anything, just edit and then recover.
For testing, I installed an old version of Debian which boots flawlessly from
the second disk.
Any ideas about what is going wrong?
The relevant part (I think) of my grub.conf:
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-28.9) #works fine
root (hd0,5)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-28.9 ro root=/dev/hdc6
initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.20-28.9.img
title Fedora Core 1 (2.4.22-1) #works only after editing kernel and
initrd
root (hd0,5)
kernel (hd1,7)/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2215.nptl ro root=/dev/hdd8
initrd (hd1,7)/boot/initrd-2.4.22-1.2215.nptl.img
title Debian #works fine
root (hd0,5)
kernel (hd1,8)/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.20 ro root=/dev/hdd9
