Re: grub as bootloader for linux and windows
--- please reply directly, I'm not on the list ---
***Sorry:*** my first mail was sent accidently before finished.
I intendet to do some more reading and thinking and fiddling on the whole
thing, before bothering you....
Anyway. I guess that I don't clearly understand partioning.
( A second after I opened the Linux-Partiton-Howto my draft was sent to
you....)
With the described partitioning, grub seems not to be able to find the
grub-boot-files in /boot/grub which stays within / -Partition on hda7. The
Linux-Boot-Partition was logical - this should be no problem - but in this
case was attached to a first FAT32-Partition ( hda5 ).
May this configuartion is not possible to boot for grub ?
( grub-numbering ............. size in MB .......... device-numbering )
0) Hibernation = Hidden Win95 FAT32 ( LBA ) .... 550 ... hda1 = prim
1) BOOT: Win2000 = Hidden FAT16 ........................... 50 ... hda2 = prim
2) Exchange = Win95 FAT32 (LBA) .................... 500 ... hda5 = log1
Linux = ext2:
4) home ....................................... 500 ... hda6 = log2
5) / (inkl. /boot ) ........................ 3000 ... hda7 = log3
6) var .......................................... 500 ... hda8 = log4
7) tmp .......................................... 500 ... hda9 = log5
8) swap_linux .............................. 500 ... hda10 = log6
9) free ....................................... 1500 ... hda11 = log7
Win2000 C:\
3) Win2000 ..........NTFS ............. 4450 ... hda3 = prim3
( inclusive win-swap )
I still don't know if grub numbers the physically sequence or the devices in
line. So hda11 for grub is Partition no. 2 or no 3 ? ( Sure I should find it
out by myself, however now hurrying with a follow-up to my first premature
request....)
Next I will try without a special /boot-Partition for Win2000, changing the
partitioning to that:
0) Hibernation = Hidden Win95 FAT32 ( LBA ) .... 550 ... hda1 = prim1
1) EXCHANGE = Win95 FAT32 (LBA) .... 500 .... hda3 = prim2
Linux-ext2:
3) home = linux ext2 ........................... 550 ... hda5 = log1
5) / (inkl. /boot ) ............................... 3000 ... hda6 = log2
6) var ................................................. 500 ... hda7 = log3
7) tmp ................................................. 500 ... hda8 = log4
8) swap_linux .................................... 500 ... hda9 = log5
9) free ............................................. 1500 ... hda10 = log6
2) Win2000 = NTFS ......................... 4450 ... hda2 = prim3
Sorry for the confusion....i work with permanent interruption on that, rarely
find more than a few ten Minutes at once the last weeks....the problem is
that i'm not a computer ;-)
