Configuring grub
Posts: 19
Help please
I have mepis installed on hda
I have windows installed on hdb1
I have PClinuxOS installed on hdb2
I am able to boot both mepis and windows from grub installed on MBR of hda, but I am clueless on how to get the grub on hda configured to boot PCLinux. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
This is what is in the menu.lst currently:
gfxmenu /boot/grub/message
title MEPIS at hda1, newest kernel
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 nomce quiet vga=791 resume=/dev/hda2
boot
title MEPIS at hda1, previous kernel (if any)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz.old root=/dev/hda1 nomce quiet vga=791 resume=/dev/hda2
boot
title MEPIS at hda1, kernel 2.6.15-27-desktop
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-27-desktop root=/dev/hda1 nomce quiet vga=791 resume=/dev/hda2
boot
title Windows at (hdb1,0)
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
chainloader (hd1,0)+1
title MEMTEST
kernel /boot/memtest86+.bin
Thanks in advance
Mount hdb2 and go to

Mount hdb2 and go to /boot/grub in there. Open menu.lst and copy the section related to booting pclinuxos.
Then (as root) paste it somewhere in the /boot/grub/menu.lst on hda1 after the existing entries.
That should do the trick; you should be able to boot into pclinuxos at the next reboot. But do verify that root=... points to /dev/hdb2
