Hi I am very grateful for the community here and I appreciate the help I received. I will be trying to get my internet connection going when I reboot into debian. Which brings me to my issue of the moment :( I really have tried so many things to be able to boot from the grub SuSE installs (version .92) I think. Currently I boot from a floopy. I read the grub editing procedure which is made to sound simple but I can not get debian to boot froom grub. I have edited /boot/grub/menu.1st every way I can think of/copy from other how-tos. At best I get a filesystem not found. I had been getting a start up and then 'kernel panic'. The specifics, sorry, its early in the morning and I have just thrown the damn SuSE manual against the floor, Debian 3.0 is on hdb5 my 2nd hard drive. I know that grub numbers drives starting from 0 so hdb5 = (hd1,4). This is my current (not working) /boot/grub/menu.1st debian listing:
title debian3.0 kernel (hd1,4)/boot/vmlinuz root=dev/hdb5 initrd (hd1,4)/initrd I have tried putting /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-k7 for the kernel with video parameters and not. I have tried /boot/loader, chainloader with the device and +1. I did have debian install a loader to the partition just not to the MBR. I wish I could have figured this out myself. The SuSE manual makes setting up grub sound easy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***Protect your PC from local E-Mail Application security holes*** ***Maintain your Privacy - MS Passport Free*** ***Anti SPAM "Whitelist" feature*** http://www.x-mail.net Web Based E-Mail, accessible anywhere Voice Messages, Voice Calls (VoIP), Video Conferencing, Live Chat, X-Mail Messenger, Personal Web Hosting, 128 bit SSL Secure, Calendar, Bookmarks, Forwarding, Virtual Mail Map Aliasing X-Mail Premium: 20MB Messages, 100MB Storage, SMTP, POP3, Ad Free ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anonymous Web Surfing http://www.snoopblocker.com Search http://www.teradex.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
