Change this to: root (hd0,0) if you have installed Grub's fs in your /dev/hda1. If your Grub root is in /dev/hda3 then you need (hd0,2). Use find from the command line to see where your Grub root has been installed (see below). BTW, unless you are dual booting with MS Windows you do not need a boot flag, even more so two boot flags! > > > kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.21-gentoo-r4 root=/dev/hda3 > > > #0 > > > title=kernel-2.6.21-gentoo-r4 > > > root(hd0,1) > > > kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.21-gentoo-r4 root=/dev/hda1 > > > > Grub method of numbering has always confused me but I thought that > > root(hd0,1) would point to the hda2 partition which is the swap > > partition.

The Grub shell is a very good way of finding where the Grub fs has been installed. From a root shell run: # grub grub> find /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0,X) grub> Where X is the partition number in Grub's nomenclature that your Grub root resides. Good luck. -- Regards, Mick
