i wish to set up this dual boot and can run both suse and mdk but have to reinstall the bootlooder to do so.
i have them on 2 different drives (installed suse after mdk) then reloaded mdk bootloader (grub) added in a option and pointed it to the suse partion but it comes up with and error about the partion not being ext 3 and hits the message kernel panic
i guess im asking for a howto dual boot 2 linux os's
Can you post your Mandrake /boot/grub/grub.conf? Also, look in the Mandrake Control Center, where it shows your drives and partitions and see what it's calling your second hard drive partition where SuSE is. Is it hdb1?
odd, theres no grub.conf but heres menu.lst:
and if it helps here is the suse file:Code:timeout 10
default 0

*looks at above post. screams at his own stupidity and hits self over the head*
after combining the last bit of code to the first file it booted properly.
man am i dumb. :roll:
LOL! I was going to tell you to do the same thing! All is good now?
yep all is good except for a bit of wounded pride
The only way to ever learn anything is to make mistakes. Now you will know how to edit your menu.lst when you add your third distro... ;)Quote:
