    Bootstring

    Hello,

    I have a multiboot system:
    windows 2000 pro
    windows xp pro
    windows vista business
    windows vista ultimate
    kubuntu 6.10
    fedora 6

    I got some help to figger out how I could get winbdows options in the boot menu of fedora. Now I'm trying to put kubuntu in it as well but for some sort of reason I cant get it working.

    Is there anyone who can help me editting the menu.lst file in fedora so that I can boot kubuntu as well?

    My partitions are:
    Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
    /dev/hdb1 * 1 892 7164958+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
    /dev/hdb2 893 14945 112880722+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
    /dev/hdb5 893 7266 51199123+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
    /dev/hdb6 7267 9816 20480000 7 HPFS/NTFS
    /dev/hdb7 9816 13641 30720000 7 HPFS/NTFS
    /dev/hdb8 13642 14278 5116671 83 Linux
    /dev/hdb9 14815 14945 1052226 82 Linux swap / Solaris
    /dev/hdb10 14279 14814 4305388+ 83 Linux

    The data in the menu.lst file is:
    # grub.conf generated by anaconda
    #
    # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
    # NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that
    # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.
    # root (hd0,9)
    # kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hdb10
    # initrd /boot/initrd-version.img
    #boot=/dev/hdb
    default=1
    timeout=5
    splashimage=(hd0,9)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
    hiddenmenu
    title Fedora Core (2.6.18-1.2798.fc6)
    root (hd0,9)
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
    initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.img
    title Kubuntu
    root (hd0,7)
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 root=/dev/hda7
    initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.img
    boot
    title Windows
    rootnoverify (hd0,0)
    chainloader +1


    please tell me how I can get it working. I think i'm using the fedora files in the kubuntu string and i dont know what i should fill in...

    You could try to contact Saikee who describes "Experience: A Linux user gone nuts on multi-boot" in his signature he mentions " A Grub menu booting 100+ systems & A "Howto" to install and boot 145 systems".
