The first line of one of my menu entries (the one for Windows 2000) seems
not to be picked up by GRUB. Here is my menu.lst file (linked to grub.conf):
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,5)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Linux (2.4.20-8)
root (hd0,5)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /initrd-2.4.20-8.img
title Windows 2000
root(hd0,1)
makeactive
chainloader +1
When GRUB starts, the linux commands are fine. However, checking the
commands for the Windows 2000 entry shows only:
makeactive
chainloader +1
which of course doesn't work when executed because of the missing root
command. If I use the command editing facilities and add the "root (hd0,5)"
back into the script and then boot, it works fine.
Why won't the config stick?
Cheers,
Raman
