User Feedback :: Grub help, dual boot dsl and ubuntu
pls, help me...
Its been a while, and i wanted to go back again to dsl
so i installed dsl on a free partition along with ubuntu on another partion but i can't boot on dsl. during the installation there is already an error when i tried to install grub from dsl, it says it can't mount, but i continued.
i booted again to ubuntu and compared the menu.lst of dsl and ubuntu
i kinda edited the part where dsl should boot, but it says
"unknown filesystem" when i tried to boot dsl again
this is the part where dsl should boot

kernel /boot/linux24 root=/dev/hda4 quiet vga=normal
#initrd /initrd.img
savedefault
boot
1. You need to uncomment the initrd line
2. Better examples

but dsl has no intrd.img, so wouldn't it be logical to just comment it?
i edited it again with this..
