GrUB Boot on Extended Partition.
« on: December 28, 2007, 05:54:37 PM »
I posted this over at AROS Exec and on a GrUB Forum. I'm posting it here now in the hopes that someone might provide me a clue. :-)

I just recently installed AROS on my Thinkpad T30 -- good job with the new installer, guys. :) The problem is, I already have three OSes installed on it, so my AROS install had to go to a logical/extended partition. It booted fine, but my XP and OS X installations wouldn't work, and it replaced my existing bootloader. I repaired that, then tried to combine the entries in the menu.lst files for AROS with the other entries from the orginal bootloader, but AROS will no longer boot and keeps telling me: unable to mount partition.

The partition in question is the correct one. It's partition 6 (3rd on extended partition), at least, I believe it is.

Here are the entries from the menu.lst file installed on hd0,2:
title Windows XP
root (hd0,0)
savedefault
makeactive
chainloader +1

title Mac OSx86 - Tiger
root (hd0,1)
makeactive
chainloader +1

title Ubuntu Linux - Fiesty Fawn
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=8dd961f7-2ed2-4166-95fa-16faee21b7c4 ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic

title AROS - 2007 11 19
root (hd0,6)
kernel /dh0/boot/aros-pc-i386.gz vesa=1024x768x32 ata=32bit,forcedma nofdc

So, any clues on what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
Ed.
