User Feedback :: Need Grub Entry

error 15 is "file not found". It might be as simple as a typo in the kernel path.
Could you post your current grub config please?

Just a quick note:

Why is beatrix set for hd1 and root=hdb while dsl is under hd1 as well but root=hda?

Yes, that looks like a definite problem. It should be root=/dev/hdb11

In addition, you have "initrd" on the end of the kernel line of both Beatrix entries. I don't know if this will break it, but it shouldn't be there. Maybe it was just a typo in the post.

I copied and pasted directly from the link given ..... and you are looking at the most recent Grub entry ...... the only change I made was Hdb11, rather than hdb1.

<shock> I just looked and saw a mistake<shock> ...... I've got DSL on hda11 ... there is NO hda11, it's hdb11 !!! (thanx 'thehatsrule') :blush: :blush: :blush:

EDIT: I made the corrections, that didn't make any difference, but I feel better now :lol:

OK, here are the two error messages for the two Grub entries which came up AFTER I made those corrections:
First: the HDD install Grub Entry:

And then the entry for the Frugal install:

Still, neither one works, any advice?

Try

Code Sample

title DSL
root (hd1,10)
kernel /boot/linux24 root=/dev/hdb11
initrd /boot/minirt24.gz

I seem to remember sometimes not needing the makeactive/boot stuff...
Oh are you using a frugal? If not, then also try removing the last initrd line (from above)
