Operating Systems Linux Gentoo How to copy single partition? Post 302086032 by siegfried on Monday 21st of August 2006 11:07:53 PM

Problem almost solved

Apparently partition magic changed the fedora partition from #5 to #4. When I type in the commands

root (hd0,4)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp.img

Everything boots fine! Hurray.

Now, why cannot grub automatically find /boot/grub/grub.conf?

When I manually issue the grub command "find /boot/grub.conf" it finds it on (hd0,4).

How can I make grub automatically find /boot/grub/grub.conf?

Thanks,
Siegfried
