We are getting close to it! Mikkel is right. Inside the grub prompt, I
run, as suggested, the command 'find /grub/grub.conf' and I get
(h0,1). Then I run
configfile /grub/grub.conf
and I get the correct dialog panel to choose the kernel to boot, and
it goes though until a kernel panic emerges. My grub.conf file is now:
# more /mnt/sdc2/grub/grub.conf
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,1)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora (2.6.22.9-91.fc7)
root (hd2,1)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.22.9-91.fc7 ro root=/dev/sdc2 rhgb
initrd /initrd-2.6.22.9-91.fc7.img
title Fedora (2.6.22.7-85.fc7)
root (hd2,1)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.22.7-85.fc7 ro root=/dev/sdc2 rhgb
initrd /initrd-2.6.22.7-85.fc7.img
where should I insert
map (hd0) (hd2)
map (hd2) (hd0)
and what should I do to avoid the kernel panic? I suspect that
something is wrong with 'root=/dev/sdc2'.
