Hi Tom,
Finally got around to checking out the "info grub" and it did indeed do the
trick. I was surprised that I could not change what I needed to change
through the Drakboot interface - I had to edit the grub menu file to
properly indicate where to look for the boot image. Thanks for the pointer
- all works like a charm now.
cheers,
philomena

Hi,
I have 3 diff OS installed on my machine and want to use GRUB as the
bootmanager. I have no problems with getting Mandrake and win98 to boot -
no problems there. My third OS is a basic SuSE install - doing some
comparison testing - but I am missing something when trying to add SuSE to
GRUB. The SuSe root partition is /dev/hda5 and the boot partition is
/dev/hda3. Its kernel image has the same name as the Mandrake image -
/boot/vmlinuz. It seems that even though I specify where it should boot
from, GRUB loads the Mandrake kernel - NOT the SuSE image. I tried
specifiying to grab the kernel by giving the whole path, but that gave a
syntax error. I've looked at a few How-Tos but I haven't found an example
of loading 2 linux distros - they usually discuss windows and linux.
Any ideas ? Should the two kernels have different names ? Any pointers
would be appreciated.
Thanks,
philomena
The syntax for specifying the HDD location of the os you want
to boot is a lot different with grub, but 'info grub' explains it
very well. Compared to other man and info pages, it gets an A+ in
my book. Have a look, I believe your questions will be answered.
