Even though I don't need your drivemap at all (see one of my replies to
Marco's ATA topic) I was so kind to try this out with my Vista x64
SP1
;)
I haven't remembered exactly the 2 menuentrys you wrote in your mail so
I used a mixture of both :)
drivemap (hd1) (hd0)
set root=(hd0)
chainloader (hd1,1)+1
This booted fine for me, GRUB loaded from IDE disk and Vista chainloaded
from my SATA RAID 0.
I really hope that you get this commited, then there's one feature less
missing from grub-legacy ;)
Hi,
Nice to know that the patch is working..for others also.meanwhile I am not too much sure,why the same is not happening to me.
The only difference in this case is that , my linux is in sata and my windows is in IDE.
