Question 1: How can grub find the kernel /vmlinuz.... while it is in /boot/vmlinuz....
The declaration "root (hd0,2)" points to your "boot" partition if it is on a disk other than that of "/".
Question 2: Where is the pointer to the rootpartition, how can I tell grub use sdb6 or use sdb7 while vmlinuz-... is on the bootpartition ?
In the line " kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.31.8-0.1-desktop showopts apm=off noresume edd=off powersaved=off nohz=off highres=off processor.max_cstate=1 x11failsafe vga=0x345" add root=/dev/<number> or root=UUID=<UUID no.> This will tell grub the disk partition for the "/".
