grub won't but XP



Hi,

I have a dual boot system divided between Windows XP and Lenny.

Lenny is the king of my computer.  But sometimes I still need to use Windows.

Since I setup Lenny on my box, grub does not boot Windows XP.
I have a hard time to find out why.

Here is what we can find in menu.lst regarding Windows :

title        Windows XP
rootnoverify    (hd2,0)
chainloader    +1
makeactive


When I try to load Windows, I have the following on screen:

  Booting 'Windows XP'

rootnoverify    (hd2,0)
chainloader    +1
makeactive


It hangs there and do nothing.  Does someone can tell if something is wrong in my configuration of grub.
I provided below my full grub configuration.

### menu.lst ###
default         0

timeout         5

color cyan/blue white/blue

title           Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-2-686
root            (hd0,0)
kernel          /vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-686 root=/dev/mapper/lnxvg-rootlv ro
initrd          /initrd.img-2.6.26-2-686

title           Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-2-686 (single-user mode)
root            (hd0,0)
kernel          /vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-686 root=/dev/mapper/lnxvg-rootlv ro single
initrd          /initrd.img-2.6.26-2-686

title           Windows XP

### end menu.lst ###


Thanks a lot,
Bernard
