Hello
I have installed RH8 on my second hard disk. The first one has win2000. I put the RH boot sector at the begining of the second hard disk. I have an AsusA7N266-VM motherboard, AMD Athlon 2000XP chip and a Nvidia GeForce2 Integrated GPU video chip. When I would try to boot off the linux hard disk I would just get "GRUB" on a black screen. When I try to boot off the floppy I get a hang on "checking module dependencies". My grub.con used to look like this --------------------------------------------------- # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. # root (hd1,0) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hdc2 # initrd /initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/hdc1 default=4 timeout=10 splashimage=(hd1,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-14debug) root (hd1,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-14debug ro root=LABEL=/ hdb=ide-scsi initrd /initrd-2.4.18-14debug.img title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-14BOOT) root (hd1,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-14BOOT ro root=LABEL=/ hdb=ide-scsi initrd /initrd-2.4.18-14BOOT.img title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-14smp) root (hd1,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-14smp ro root=LABEL=/ hdb=ide-scsi initrd /initrd-2.4.18-14smp.img title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-14bigmem) root (hd1,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-14bigmem ro root=LABEL=/ hdb=ide-scsi initrd /initrd-2.4.18-14bigmem.img title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-14) root (hd1,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 ro root=LABEL=/ hdb=ide-scsi initrd /initrd-2.4.18-14.img ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------So I changed it to look like this because I didn't care to load all those other things --------------------------------------------- # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. # root (hd1,0) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hdc2 # initrd /initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/hdc1 default=4 timeout=10 splashimage=(hd1,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-14) root (hd1,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 ro root=LABEL=/ hdb=ide-scsi initrd /initrd-2.4.18-14.img --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now the grub boot loader loads and comes up with Linux, so I hit returun and get --------------------------- Booting Red Hat Linux 2.4.18-14 root(hd1,0) Files system type is Fat, partition type 0xC Kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 ro root=LABEL=/hdb=ide-scsi Error 5: File not found -------------------------------------------------------------- Any ideas Please help I am very stuck. Thanks in advance Matt |

Seeing as you have deleted a bunch of grub entries, change the default=4 to default=0
