erro: install grub onto bochs image file

[xuedan]

I install grub on bochs imgae file, debug.img ( created by bximage according to "How to make a Bochs disk image" ).

I follow the steps:
grub> device (hd0) debug.img
grub> geometry (hd0) 6095 16 63
grub> root (hd0)
grub> setup (hd0)

and I get the following info.:
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes
Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"... 22 sectors are embedded.
succeeded
Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+22 p (hd0,0)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/menu.lst"..
. succeeded
Done.

so I guess the grub install successfully.

The menu.1st is
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora (2.6.21-1.3194.fc7)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7.img

But when I run it under bochs. It reports "error 15: no file found". When I under command line
input:
grub> kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7
( it reports file not find )

But I am sure vmlinuz-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 and initrd-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7.img are located at
/boot on the image file.

How to debug the issue? Anything wrong with installing grub?

Thanks

grub> kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7

I do so:
grub> kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7
grub> initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7
grub> boot

But unfortunately, it reboot in stead of continuing the current boot.

Have you ever booted the HD image file under bochs using grub?

Please list your steps in details.

Thanks

I have done it once only. You have to specify root partition too.
try this

grub> kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 ro root=/dev/<partition>

Replace <partition> with actual root partition.
whats the output of this

find /boot/grub/stage1

[xuedan]

I tried as you advised. The phemonenon still exists. After "kernel /boot/vm... ro root=/dev..." and "initrd /boot/ini...", I input "boot" and it always loop the booting.

I guess there is something wrong with installing grub. But don't how to debug and fix the problem.

Please advise any method and any tools.

Thanks

Please check this lable root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 (is it is correct or not) also check your disk partition because grub.conf has located in first 512MB

In fact, I try "root=LABEL=/", but it still "reboot" in stead of "boot". In this diak image, there is only one partition. I follow the steps stated in How to make a Bochs disk image | Ken Barr . Would you like to evaluate whether it is OK for steps. Would you like to take a try yourself using bochs? Very easy to repeat my error.

Thanks
