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

title           Linux (on /dev/hda4)
root            (hd0,3)
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..

title           Damn Small Linux
root            (hd0,3)
kernel          /boot/linux24
makeactive
boot

but still, it won't boot
it says filesystem type unknown
:(

DSL's initrd is minirt24.gz
if ya did frugal try this

kernel /boot/linux24  root=/dev/hda4 quite frugal
initrd /boot/minirt24.gz
