>I am using grub v-0.97 to boot multiple os's. computer is set up: hda1-winxp, >hda2-vfat which has grub folder, hda3-ubuntu, hda5-swap, hda6-some linux >distro, hda7-some linux distro, hda8-vfat data, hda9-vfat data, hda10-ext2 >/home. I set the partition flag on hda2 active so the bios will read that >partition to boot. I install grub to hda2. recently formated (to make >available) hda6 and hda7. Then installed Slackware to hda6. I modified >menu.lst to ad Slackware but it wont boot (wont find kernel or files on >hda6). When I turn on computer I get my menu.lst, go to grub prompt and type >find /sbin/init and the only results are for hd3 (hd0,2). If I boot to >ubuntu, run grub> find /sbin/init the results are for hda3 (ubuntu, hda6 >(slackware), and hda7 (os before I formated hda7). The grub folder that is >on hda2 is copied from ubuntu after which I run grub> root (hd0,1) then >grub> setup (hd0,1). It completes successfully. I have done the "install" to >hda2 with setup from ubuntu and the grub prompt at the boot screen. Since >grub from ubuntu can "see" hda6 and hda7 I dont think problem is fault of >BIOS. What do I do to fix this? Your new install probably uses extents (ext4). It's not supported by grub-legacy and we don't recieve feature requests for it anymore. Use grub2
