Hi,
I want to slowly migrate from Debian to CentOS, so I setup a multiboot on my main machine. There's a Debian Etch install on /dev/hda, and GRUB is also installed on the Debian side.
On /dev/hdb, I have CentOS 5. I fdisked the drive manually, then chose manual partitioning during install. The setup for CentOS is:
hdb1 -> swap hdb2 -> /boot, ext2 hdb3 -> / , ext3
After completing the install, I rebooted on the Debian side and edited menu.lst like this:
<snip>
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.18 root (hd0,1) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18 root=/dev/hda3 vga=788 ro initrd /initrd.img-2.6.18
title CentOS 5 sur hdb3 root (hd1,1) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.el5 root=/dev/hdb3 ro initrd /initrd-2.6.18-8.el5
Now when I try to reboot on CentOS, I get an 'Error 15: file not found'. I add that I've done many multiboot configurations before, so it's not the first time I have such a scenario. I thought, aha, maybe a typo. So I entered the GRUB shell and booted CentOS without problems, using tab completion.
I double- and triple-checked after this, but I can't seem to find the error. The stanza seems OK, but still it won't work.
Do you see a mistake that I don't see?

What is the /etc/fstab line for /dev/hdb3 like?
