rh8

Installed a rh8 system on an old compaq deskpro EN and had some problems 
installing. Diskdruid used the /dev/hdc as main partitition. On earlier 
installations it has allways used /dev/hda. Swap installed on /dev/hdc2.

When booting without the boot diskette Grub does not load the linux OS, 
but starts with the grub-commandline. Booting from diskette goes ok.

I paste in here the /boot/grub/grub.conf,  and from the bood diskette 
syslinux.cfg

Do anyone have suggestions for how to configure grub.conf?



This is /boot/grub/grub.conf

#          initrd /boot/initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hdc

    root (hd0,0)
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 ro root=LABEL=/
    initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.18-14.img

Looks for me normal


This is /mnt/floppy syslinux.cfg
