Problems installing Woody from Hard Disk using GRUB
I wanted to install Sarge on an empty partition in my machine that I have
booting with GRUB. So I decided to start by installing Woody. I tried
following the Installation directions for booting from LILO, but modifying
them for Grub. (I failed and ended up installing from floppies.)
What is wrong with the following setup for Grub? I always ended up with
problems booting from hda5, which is not a partition on my system. (hda1 is
windows, hda2 is swap, hda3 is going to be Sarge, and hda4 is Woody.)
Here's my Grub config:
title Woody install
kernel (hd0,3)/boot/newinstall/linux-2.4.bin
initrd (hd0,3)/boot/newinstall/root-2.4.bin
Any ideas as to why this doesn't work? I end up with a kernel panic because
the root filesystem can't be mounted.
