Linux

Hi all
I have a usb external drive with two partitions sdb1 ntfs and sdb2 ext3 with label Linux
I copied a knoppix live distro in the second partition, then I installed grub on the drive. Now in the directory /media/sdb2/boot/grub i have the file device.map with the following content:

Code:

(hd0)    /dev/sdb

and the file menu.lst with the following content:

Code:

default         0
timeout         2

title           Knoppix
root            (hd0,2)
kernel          /boot/isolinux/linux root=/dev/sdb2 ramdisk_size=100000 lang=en apm=power-off vga=0x311 initrd=minirt.gz nomce quiet loglevel=0 nolapic_timer BOOT_IMAGE=knoppix
initrd          /boot/isolinux/minirt.gz
boot

The isolinux directory is there with all the files, but at startup I still get the message: Could not find kernel image: linux

Manually I tried to type other paths like:

Code:

/dev/sdb /boot/isolinux/linux
/dev/sda /boot/isolinux/linux
/dev/sda2 /boot/isolinux/linux

But it didn't work

Thanks in advance for any help

/dev/sdb2 will be (hd0,1) not (hd0,2) - grub partitions start at zero, so change your menu.lst (or edit the line at boot time - press b at the grub menu screen) to be:

Code:

root (hd0,1)

Thanks for the advice. Fixed, but the issue persists

To see where grub thinks the linux kernel is, hit b when grub comes up, then type

Code:

kernel (hd0,1)/b

followed by the tab key, grub will auto-complete the b to boot if you have it right.
Try other alternatives by typing

Code:

kernel (hd

then tab to see all the drives. With each drive, say hd0, type

Code:

kernel (hd0,

then tab to see all the partitions of that disk.

Thanks all I found the issue.
Actually when I created the second partition I didn't set it as active
