Has anybody using Grub got a configuration that boots SuSE 8.0 with the standard kernek they could share. I have one root (no separate boot) partition on hda2. I have a lot of different combinations but always end up with a kernel panic.

Here's a meny.lst that I actually use (cut out some bloat): ---> cut here --- /boot/grub/menu.lst --- start <--- # Automatic generated on Sun Jun 23 21:49:05 CEST 2002 timeout 3 default 0 color red/light-gray white/cyan # Entry -- vmlinuz with initrd: initrd title Linux on /dev/hda8 -- "vmlinuz", "initrd", "(hd0,7)" root (hd0,7) kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda8 vga=0x31A initrd /boot/initrd # Entry -- vmlinuz.suse with initrd: initrd.suse title Linux on /dev/hda8 -- "vmlinuz.suse", "initrd.suse", "(hd0,7)" root (hd0,7) kernel /boot/vmlinuz.suse root=/dev/hda8 vga=0x31A ide=nodma apm=off acpi=off initrd /boot/initrd.suse # Entry -- DOS/Win title DOS/Win on /dev/hda1 root (hd0,0) makeaktive chainloader +1 # Automatic End # Inserting Menu.own Title memtest86 root (hd0,7) kernel /boot/memtest.bin # Inserting Menu.own end # Have a lot of fun ... ---> cut here --- /boot/grub/menu.lst --- end <--- menu.lst was generated with /sbin/installgrub (included in SuSE's grub-*.rpm). It is the equivalent of a standard lilo.conf with linux, failsafe, windows and memtest86 entries. As your root is on hda2, change all occurrences of: - hda8 to hda2 - (hd0,7) to (hd0,1) Leen
