This doesn't really help, where is your kernel located ? is / a different partition ? I guess so. On HD0 (1st IDE channel, master, Samsung) GRUB is installed in MBR and Windows XP on NTFS. On HD1 (2nd channel, master, WD600) Linux is installed.
When I boot, normally the GRUB boot loader shows me a menu where I can select to boot Windows or Linux. This doesn't appear anymore with F10. I only get the GRUB command line.
Are you sure that the disks in the second menue are correct (first Samsung, then WD)?
Yes. But I will try to change it and look what happens.
some words to the grub console:
"kernel (hdx,y)/<path_to_kernel>/<vmlinuz>" where x is the disk, y the partition, both counted from _0_
should give no error
"initrd (hdx,y)/<path_to_initrd>/<initrd>"
same as above
"root (hdx,y)"
same as above
"boot"
should boot your system. for x you may take 0 or 1
I will try this. Thanks, Moritz -- GMX ProMail mit bestem Virenschutz http://www.gmx.net/de/go/mail +++ Empfehlung der Redaktion +++ Internet Professionell 10/04 +++
