Re: FC4 installaion bogged up WINXP

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Can't copy/paste it right now but it's a simple debian's default grub having
a debian section containing
root (hd0,4)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-4 root=/dev/hda5
initrd /initrd-2.6.18-4

And a windows section:
root (hd0,1)
savedefault
chainloader +1

That's all. I remember it since I tried many times to boot.

I tried using fixboot using winxp ercovery console but didn't help. I
tried the install-mbr command which is similar to fdisk /mbr but that
didn't work as well. hal.dll still is reported to be missing by XP.
Any help appreciated.

Regards,
Deboo

What does your grub.conf look like?
