Re: [gentoo-user] Issues with Gentoo & WinXP dualboot setup
Hi again! I'm late a little :) I believe the problem is that Windows expect to be installed on the first disk and when it is not it fail to start. Try adding this before the rootnoverify line: map hd0 hd1 map hd1 hd0 This will make the bios change the order of the disks and Windows will hopefully be happy again. /Andreas Thanks a lot, Andreas, it works. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
