my hdd has the foll config: partition type mount size comments hda1 vfat /mnt/win 3GB hda5 ext3 /boot 23MB hda6 ext3 /data 10GB hda7 swap 205MB hda8 ext3 / 2.5GB Red Hat Linux 7.3 hda9 ext3 / 3.33GB Knoppix
i first installed knoppix in hda9 and then installed Rhl 7.3 in hda8. The Rhl installation did not detect knoppix and hence did not create an entry in grub. when i tried to mount hda9 as ext3 in /knoppix on hda8, while booting it said that the filesystem is not supported. but when i mount hda9
from root prompt in hda8 using "mount -t ext3 /dev/hda9 /knoppix", i can access all the directories present on hda9.

Check your fstab entry in RH , i think u should get the problem
i tried making the foll entry in /boot/grub/grub.conf
[Snip] I have two grub.conf files... one in /boot/grub and other in /etc. just check it out which one is to be used...
title knoppix root(hda0,5)
[snip]
This command should be something like this root(hd0,4)
this will point to the boot directory on the first extended partition. For more info try "info grub".
kernel /vmlinuz ro root=/dev/hda9
[Snip]
For this command , u want that the vmlinuz should be from knoppix installation.... and using this consideration and ur partition table, u should be using this
kernel (hd0,8) /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda9
Well i think this should do.........
initrd /initrd.gz #here i've created "$ln -s /boot/initrd.gz initrd.gz" but, when i try to select the knoppix option at the grub login, it gives me
"error 15: file not found"
[Snip]
This error is self explanatory , that some file was not available Then why are you asking "what is the problem" :d
what is the problem? how do i solve it?
hence, my immediate problem is to get a working entry in grub,
[Snip] I think with those changes , it should work. And if not then read the man page of grub. Try reading man pages , they have got lot of information.
so that i can use my knoppix installation. any help will be greatly apprediated
Enjoy Knoppix
