Re: grub access (fwd)

[Melissa Golter]

I spoke to quickly...

the story:
I have 3 hard drives (sdb, sdc, sdd)
in grub language, hd0, hd1 and hd2

hd0 is win2k
hd1 is rh9
hd2 is similar but more recent install of rh9

(side note: i have 2 processors, hence the smp -- hd2 actually has 2 grub
titles 
1. hd2,0 as linux 2.4.20-8 
and 
2. hd2,0 as linux 2.4.20-8smp
)


without hd2, grub recognized hd0 and hd1
after installing hd2, grub recognized hd0 and hd2.  For hd1, i selected
sdc2 on a pull-down menu (I realize now I probably should have selected
sdc1, but since grub showed it recognized sdb and sdd2, and since the
partitions were same on sdc and sdd, i thought it best to follow suit...

 
Anyway, in the grub menu hd1 data was

root rootnoverify
chainloader +1

when selected to boot, error 13 popped up.

modifying the grub menu the first time, i typed
root (hd1,0)
chainloader +1

got error 15


modifying the grub menu to reflect the linux on hd1, i typed
root (hd1,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-8smp ro root=LABEL=/1 hda=ide-scsi
initrd /initrd-2.4.20-8smp.img

rather than putting me into hd1 tho, this boots me into hd2.


What am i doing wrong?  How to access hd1? 



thanks for any info

PS since it is a pain to have to type all that in every time I boot up
into that drive, is there a way to add a new item to the grub menu (esp as
i would like to boot into either the lo or high mem of linux for hd1, as I
can now for hd2) 



Thanks for any pointers/info -- you have been great to offer suggestions
to me through this...
