Hello all,
I am facing a peculiar problem with grub. I have two ide disks. hda-40gb and
hdc-3gb. Linux is installed in hda and winnt is installed in hdc.
This is my grub.conf or menu.lst.
----------------------------------------------
boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=10
title Linux-Rh8.0
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.18-14.img
title WinNT
root (hd1,0)
map (hd0,0) (hd1,0)
map (hd1,0) (hd0,0)
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
-------------------------------------------------------------
When I load WinNT I get the folowing error for the first time.
-------------------------------------------------------------
root(hd1,0)
Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7
map (hd0,0)(hd1,0)
map (hd1,0)(hd0,0)
rootnotify (hd0,0)
Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Then I go into edit mode and delete the entries
map (hd0,0) (hd1,0)
map (hd1,0) (hd0,0)
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
and then it boots.
So all the time I need to do the following 3 steps to boot WinNT.
1. load the winnt (it will give error)
2. go back and delete the 3 entries.
3. then issue boot command
The point to note is, the system is not booting in NT if I leave the step 1
and go directly to step 2.
Is it a bug in grub? Or am I doing something wrong.
Please share your ideas.
