I have Redhat Linux and Windows installed on /dev/hda and DSL installed in a 300 MB partition of /deb/hdb (specifically, /dev/hdb2).  I need to configure my grub.conf so that I can boot into DSL  Does anyone know what I put in the conf file to make this work?  Here's what I have right now:

#boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=30
splashimage=(hd0,2)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-2.21)
       root (hd0,2)
       kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-2.21 ro root=LABEL=/ hdd=ide-scsi
       initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.20-2.21.img
title DOS
       rootnoverify (hd0,0)
       chainloader +1
title DSL
       root (hd1,1)
       kernel  /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-xfs
#       initrd /vmlinux


I think I have the 'hd1,1' correct.  This should mean hdb2 in grub terms (I guess).  What should the 'kernel' line be?  I'm guessing on the '/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-xfs'.  Also, I have no clue what I should have for the 'initrd' line.  Shouldn't there be an inetrd file or an img file in the installation?

When I boot using the current conf file, I get a kernel panic on bootup when I select DSL

BTW, booting up up DSL on a different machine that has RH, Windows, and DSL has no problem because it uses the lilo.conf that was generated by the DSL install.

Thanks,

bob
