Triple Boot FC1, FC3, W2K

[SwimminSasquatch]

Hello All,
I'm trying to test run FC3 before making the switch from FC1. Currently the system will boot W2K and FC1 from Grub. I installed FC3 on hdc5, but I'm having trouble booting to FC3.

When I try to boot FC3 I get:
root(1,4)
fstype is extfs2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667 ro root=/dev/hda5=/ hdd=ide-scsi rhgb
[Linux-bzimage, setup=0x1400, size=0x155da5]
initrd /boot/inintrd-2.6.9-1.667.img
Error 15: File not found

The file is there, I checked it using Knoppix.

My grub.conf file is:
default=1
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd1,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Fedora Core
root (hd1,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl ro root=LABEL=/ hdd=ide-scsi rhgb
initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl.img
title Windows 2000
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
title Fedora Core 3
root (hd1,4)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667 ro root=/dev/hda5=/ hdd=ide-scsi rhgb
initrd /boot/inintrd-2.6.9-1.667.img

Any help would be appreciated.

it looks like you installed it to hdb5 not hdc5

hdc would be the 3rd hard drive, unless that was a typo you put in their, but if you are trying tp point LILO at hdc5, you will get an error

Thanks for the quick response budman, but the hdc is correct. It is the master on the 2nd IDE.

I found out what this problem was, I needed to point each line in Grub to the correct partition. My grub.conf now looks like:

title Fedora Core 3
root (hd1,4)
kernel (hd1,4)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667 ro root=/dev/hdc5=/ hdd=ide-scsi rhgb
initrd (hd1,4)/boot/initrd-2.6.9-1.667.img

This begins to boot to FC3 but before it goes into the graphical boot stage I get the error:

"Kernel panic, not synching. Attempted to kill Init!"

Anybody have any idea what this means? Or how to get around it?
