Hi,
Sorry if this is to the wrong list.
I recently installed Open Solaris Nevada b55 on my home PC with Solaris
and Windows on separate disks. The solaris install worked well, however
I've not been able to boot into Windows Xp from Grub. Booting into
solaris works fine. The only way I can boot into windows is to adjust
the boot priority of the hard disks in the BIOS, which by-passes grub.
My system has 2 SATA disks - Channel 2 & 3. XP is installed on the
channel 2 disk while solaris is installed on the channel 3 disk.
The device definitions in grub are correct - as far as I know.
The menu.lst configuration for grub is.
Windows
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
When selecting this menu option within grub, the screen goes blank for a
couple of seconds before going back into the grub menu.
I'm not that familiar with grub, so I'm not aware of any debugging
options.
Has anyone had any similar issues when running Solaris and Windows on
separate disks?
Did you add a second disk later ? If yes then Bios drive mappings change
and can confuse the OS on the earlier disk, which appears to be WinXP in
your case.
You can use the map directive in Grub to try to remap the drives.
Something
like this:
Windows
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

Moinak.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Marcus
