Hi David,Yes, I only have one disk in the system. Here are my device.map and grub.conf files:
# this device map was generated by anaconda (fd0) /dev/fd0 (hd0) /dev/hda#boot=/dev/hda default=1 timeout=10 splashimage=(hd0,9)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-14) root (hd0,9) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.18-14.img title Win2kPro rootnoverify (hd0,1) chainloader +1Despite the fact that my grub.conf specifies (hd0,9), grub still wants to find it's info on (hd0,5) upon boot. I manually have to tell it that it's root is (hd0,9), then it works fine.
Thanks again, Bryan David Balazic wrote:

I took the default install (and I'm not sure where that installs grub). To give myself more swap, I repartitioned my HD, causing /dev/hd6, which was my linux partition, to move to /dev/hda10. Now when I boot, grub thinks that /dev/hda6 (hd0,5) is the boot partition, which it is not. I have to maually give it the boot partition (root (hd0,9)) and then a config file (/boot/grub/grub.conf). My grub.conf has the correct settings, but upon boot, I think grub tries to read another config file. What do I need to do to save my settings in grub so when I boot, it just gives me the splash screen? I thought the default install put grub in /dev/hda1 (which is a windows partiton) and not the MBR, am I mistaken?/boot/grub/grub.conf ? /boot/grub/device.map ? Do you have only one disk in the system ?
