I refrained from asking this question but I couldnt find an earlier thread that may or may not have already addressed this question . I dual boot WinXP and RH7.3 . I recently installed MDK9.0 on some free space on hdb(my linux disk) I installed LiLo on the / of hdb5 for my MDK installation . I just need to know what should be added to my grb config file to make MDK accessable at boot . my current grub config file looks like this. grub.conf generated by anaconda
# # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd1,0) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hdb2
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=1
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd1,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-3)
root (hd1,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-3 ro root=/dev/hdb2 hdc=ide-scsi
initrd /initrd-2.4.18-3.img

You also have to realize that most of the LNO members are sleeping at the time of the morning you posted the question.

I happend to be up earlier as I got a call from work at 3 a.m. and now have to leave for work in a few minutes to fix a few problems.

Also go to http://support.caldera.com/caldera and search for zen as you will find the 'Zen and Art of Using Grub' which is a very good guide for Grub.

Got it! I had to enter path to kernel as /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.19-5mdk and path to initrd as /boot/initrd-2.4.19mdk.img .

Ooops... Sorry as I forgot to mention you will need to specify the paths.
