Does this mean that (hd0,0) in your example is the one containing the Windows (or other OS) installation? Yes, that is correct. It would be helpful to note that in the instructions if it doesn't complicate things too much. The chainloader directive shouldn't contain a (hdX) or (hdX,Y) setting (confirmed by grub developers). Was your root/rootnoverify setup correctly? There is additional GRUB information for DOS/Windows users as well, see http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/DOS-Windows.html#DOS%2fWindows Mea culpa. I had: rootnoverify(hd0,0) Changing it to: rootnoverify (hd0,0) fixed the problem. Maybe a comment that the space is required would help. Sorry. |
