 |
|
Ok, I am having some trouble setting up my dual-boot with Gentoo and Windows 98 on GRUB.
I have each on a separate hard drive with the Gentoo drive being the master. I have put what I thought would work in the menu.lst:
| Code: |
default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Gentoo
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda6
title Windows
root (hd1,0)
chainloader +1
|
I can load my Gentoo system just fine, but if I try to load Windows it just stops doing anything and doesn't load.
Can anyone verify if what I have put for the menu.lst is correct and if so, any thoughts on how I can fix my problem.
Thanks |

I am too sure about 98 but to boot win2000 with grub I have my windows entry setup like;
| Code: | title=Windows 2000 Professional
rootnoverify (hd0,1)
makeactive
chainloader +1
|
Note the rootnoverify as opposed to just root, and the makeactive.
