It is neater to use chainloader +1 if you have several different installs When you update the "chained" kernel the "chained" grub.conf is updated automatically. On one machine I have a "production" F7 and "development" F7 and F8s I do not have to play with grub.conf on /dev/sda1 title F7 pagham (2.6.23.1-10.fc7) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.23.1-10.fc7 ro root=LABEL=/root_pagham initrd /initrd-2.6.23.1-10.fc7.img title F7 Indirect boot of harddisk root (hd0,4) chainloader +1 title F8 Indirect boot of fuerte root (hd0,5) chainloader +1 John
