Here's the situation. I've got two LFS systems, one on /dev/sda1 and the other on /dev/sdb1. They each have their kernels in the /boot directories on those drives. So I don't have a separate /boot partition. A little bit of an oversight on my part. I know I could back up things, erase partitions and start over with a separate /boot, but that's a lot of bother. So, what would be the proper grub configuration to fix it so that both systems can be booted? Right now, I have this # # # /boot/grub/grub.cfg on /dev/sda1 set default=0 set timeout=-1 insmod ext2 set root=(hd0,1) menuentry "GNU/Linux, Linux 4.7.2-newbean" { linux /boot/vmlinuz-4.7.2 root=/dev/sda1 ro } menuentry "GNU/Linux, Linux 4.2-l-bean" { linux /boot/vmlinuz-4.2-lfs-7.8 root=/dev/sdb1 ro } # # # That doesn't appear to work, however; I can only boot the 4.7.2 system. Does " vmlinuz-4.2-lfs-7.8 " need to be in the /boot partition of /dev/sda1 for this to work properly, since I have grub installed there? Thank you all for the help--and the patience. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
