During installation of Sabayon 3.25,the GRUB didn't have an entry for Mandriva 07,therefore,I added an entry labeled Mandriva Linux 2007 and pointed it to root partition for Mandriva namely sda5(partition 5,HDD 0) for Sabayon.But Mandriva refuses to boot with the error message given below and tells me to press any key.When I press a key,it sends me back to GRUB.FYI,my home partition(sda7 partition 7,HDD 0) is separate from my root partition in Mandriva.
All partitions are logical. On the advice of a friend who knows something about Gentoo and Sabayon,I modified the entry for Mandriva in /boot/grub/menu.lst as follows: title 'Mandriva Linux 2007' root(hd0,4) kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda5 initrd /boot/initrd.gz
Presently,the error message is:(/*....*/ are comments and not part of the error message)
Booting 'Mandriva Linux 2007' root(hd0,4)/*Since I have only 1 HDD,hd0 and since Mandriva root is in hda5,partition number-1=4*/ Filesystem type is ext2fs,partition type 0x83/*But I have all linux partitions as ext3fs!*/ kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda5 /*I tried sda5 too,with and without(w/o) ro and hda5 with and w/o ro*/ [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1e00, size=0x1b68d6] /*All greek and latin to me*/ initrd /boot/initrd.gz
Error 15:File not found.
Press any key to continue..._ /*When any key is pressed,it sends me back to the GRUB menu*/ Please Help.
