Re: GRUB cannot load Linux

[Oliver König]

Thanks to Robert and Michael,
you are right! It is working now! What a stupid mistake I made! Thank you very much. I made the same mistake when replying to Robert's mail. Thanks a lot!

Best regards,
Oliver

I cannot get Grub to load Linux:

title windows

root (hd1,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 root=/dev/hdc1
initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.18-14.img
---EOF---

I have the following hard drives and partitions on my system:

Device Start End Size Type Mountpoint
/dev/hda
hda1 1 2097 16449 ntfs ?
hda2 2098 2480 3004 fat ?

/dev/hdc
hdc1 1 10 78 ext3 /boot hdc2 11 75 510 linux-swap
hdc3 76 784 5562 ext3 /

but according to your disk partitioning, /dev/hdc1 is /boot, not
your root filesystem. your grub file claims that "root=/dev/hdc1",
which doesn't seem to agree. it looks like your grub.conf should
say "root=/dev/hdc3" instead.

or am i misreading something?
