HD Install :: Dual Boot not happening



I am thinking, at the moment, to reinstall DSL. Let it reinstall GRUB and overwrite the original. Then I can use DSL to write the entry for Puppy. I already know what works for Puppy.
That should work but still does not answer my current problem for which there should be a simple fix I believe.
I just have been unable to hit upon that fix as yet.
I hate to bow out a loser but....

Did the reinstall thing. I am now dual-booting two linux distros on this drive. Dare I go for three? Oh why not I ask myself. Now I need to decide what distro I want to download and install. It will give me something to play with. Thanks to those who offered help.

Okay I have /mnt/hda6/boot open and it contains the following:

grub    linux24    System.map  System.map-2.4.31

FWIW, you were missing minirt24.gz

My guess is that you used the frugal (grub) install script and chose the upgrade option which could've automatically skipped over it with the assumption that it's already there.

You are correct "hats"....had I left out the initrd line altogether it would have worked. I should have written this:

title DSL
kernel /boot/linux24 root=dev/hda6 quiet vga=normal noacpi noapm nodma noscsi

leaving out the initrd line.....thanks again to you for the interest

My guess was actually something different, but I had forgotten about your setup.  Good to see that you found the solution anyways.
