I'm sorry Yancek but I do not know how to access the grub file to insert or change anything yet.
It may be that all I need to do is to remove LABEL="/dev/sda3" for the thing to work correctly.
My example of a Multiboot grub menu from my quad boot IBM M41 M/C shop Desktop. I have 2 grub 2 distros booting through Antix grub Legacy on this box cousin lucky. on 2 differnt internal hard drives. Way more complicated than your setup. I don't know why you won't answer my questions entirely. So flying blind in response .
Use antixcc (crossed wrenches in task bar). Edit config files button. Password. Pick the menu button in taskbar of geany.Code:timeout 10

Hit the save button in gedit taskbar. Close everything. Reboot. Pick PCLOS Linux from the grub boot menu. See if it boots up.Code:title PCLOS Linux

I say I am flying blind because you did not go into details on your thread on exact steps during pclos and antix installation process so I have to guess that pclos is on /dev/sda3.
Which in grub terms is (hd0,2).
Momma has a even tempered nature and knows my other brood is no threat to her. She tolerates their antics. So don't wonder about them getting onto her pad.
Good luck with the storm coming. :)
Edit: Look how I posted for editing grub menu in antix in this post in case Yanek gives you something different to edit grub with. You posted while I was typing this out.
Roky, I remember the MBR button and explaination in Antix because I have installed it many times. i only installed PCLinuxOS once and just followed the directions and not looking to remember exacly what I did. After all it booted up after being installed. The boot became an error after i installed AntiX. Thanks a lot for these instructions.
The menu.lst you posted from AntiX shows the PCLinux entry with a different UUID for swap (the second UUID number on the kernel line). It begins with 9307... while the blkid output you posted for AntiX shows sda2, your swap partition beginning with 692b... I've seen this before with PCLinux when you install another distro and it changes the swap UUID. You could change the second UUID for swap in the PCLinux entry on the AntiX menu.lst or it would probably be easier to chainload as suggested by rokitnji.
My appreciation for your efforts gentlemen!
I'm very sorry but neither of your suggestions worked out. Maybe someone using PCLinuxOS gnome can help with this!
Yancek your entry gets me a different error message:
Error1: filename must be either an sbsolute pathname or blocklist
This problem of mine has been Solved!!
Grub needs a "root" statement so it can find the right (disk,partition).
The "configfile" statement will display the PCLOS menu.lst and you can go from there.
Make these changes ( in red ) and let us know what happens.

OOH! Unless I misread your fdisk -l output, I see a big problem there Cousin! It looks as if /dev/sda1 covers the entire disk, except the first 3800 or so blocks, and both sda2 and sda3 seem to overlap what's on sda1. If that is the case, no wonder things get confused!
I have MANY partitions set up; this one is a much more sane implementation, though perhaps too many partitions for what you need:

Yes, that is a good looking, simple GRUB Legacy config file. Assuming the disk geometry issue that alarmed me has also been taken care of, this approach ought to work just fine.Quote:
