Hello to all,
I have a successful vista/xp dual boot setup (installed vista first and sorted out the boot loader situtation with EasyBCD). I've just installed openSUSE 10.3 but can't boot it up. My setup:
Drive 1: vista
Drive 2: xp on 1st partition, linux-swap on 2nd partition, opensuse on 3rd partition
Drive 3: data disk (2 partitions)
The swap and opensuse partitions are both primary and I made the swap partition only 100mb because I have 4gm ram.
During the opensuse install process I elected to install grub to the / partition but I got
"Error occurred while installing grub
gnu grub version 0.97 (640k lower/3072k upper memory) CodeEnd: 0x3EF2C
grub> setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2(hd0)(/dev/sdb3,2)
Error 23: Error while parsing number
grub> quit"
I decided to continue the install without installing any boot loader. On reboot, both vista and xp would boot, but (not surprisingly) opensuse would not. I then set up and configured neogrub as follows:
find --set-root /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22.5
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22.5 ro root=/dev/sdb3
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22.5
This does bring up the neogrub loader but after selecting opensuse, it hangs after the first command line above.
Any ideas how to properly configure neogrub?
