I use Grub with SuSE 8.2 [default], Dos and OS/2. Grub lists the three plus the floppy and other possibilities which are automatically included.
The three oses are all on the ide hd as: /hda1=dos; /hda2=SuSE8.2; and /hda3=OS/2warp4.
All three oses can be accesses except that Grub does something to one of the partitions if more than two are used.
If I limit myself to linux and os/2 - no problem - I can go from one to another. However, if I try dos and then try os2 then os2 crashes. I believe that Grub does something to the os2 partition [the third primary partition] because I can restore the partition to booting.
I don't know what happens but I can only suppose that Grub does something.
Does anybody have a similar situation/problem?
DOS would need the partition active before it can be booted. I suspect something is changing the partition to not being active. Try the statement: makeactive in your DOS grub menu after you have used the root (hd0,0) (or whatever) statement. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
