Yes, anaconda doesn't currently handle the writing out of any additional drive mapping information at present. It is being considered for the next release as a part of a rework of all of the bootloader configuration present in anaconda |
Description of Problem: If windows 95 is located on /dev/hdb1 when Redhat 7.2 is installed, the entry in /boot/grub/grub.conf to boot that os is incorrect. Win95 does not boot when the dos entry in grub is chosen at boot. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How Reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Win95 on /dev/hdb1 2. Install Redhat 7.2 on /dev/hda (or wherever, I guess.) 3. Reboot, and select the "dos" entry in the grub menu. Windows won't boot. Actual Results: Expected Results: Additional Information: As much as I hate to fix things to make Windows work, :) here's the way I updated my grub.conf. The dos entry is now: title DOS map (hd0) (hd1) map (hd1) (hd0) rootnoverify (hd1,0) makeactive chainloader +1 boot I think this is the correct fix.
