Try (hd0,4) - I think grub counts 0-based whereas partition table counts 1-based - yes, according to the comments in my /boot/grub/menu.lst . > It didn't work, and me thinks it's > because xp has to be a primary partition. That may be. Furthermore, if you want to dual-boot MS-Win-XP & Linux, i'd put Win-XP on /dev/hda1 and install Win-XP first, Linux second. =========== # (excerpt from /boot/grub/menu.lst) # This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for an existing # linux installation on /dev/sda10. title linux-nonfb (on /dev/sda10) root (hd0,9) kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda10 splash=silent resume=/dev/hda1 initrd /boot/initrd.img savedefault boot _______________________________________________ LinuxUsers mailing list [email protected] http://socallinux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxusers
