Slitaz cooking configuration-multiple boot help needed

Dear forum members,
I have been searching information since yesterday how to configure grub to boot Slitaz cooking. I installed it in my acer aspire one as 4th operating system but I can't put correct lines in the configuration. So I can't boot it. I am using triple booting right now. Please help. Summary of my system-
1st boot O.S- Windows XP
2nd boot O.S- Ubuntu karmic 9.10
3rd boot O.S- Ubuntu netbook remix,9.10

I use grub2 bootloader, booted from Ubuntu karmic 9.10
Now, 4th O.S is
-Slitaz cooking 20091104
-kernel (linux 2.6.30.6-slitaz(i686)
-ISO(downloaded)
-intalled slitaz in "/dev/sda10"

with information found on internet I tried to put the following line in the grub configuration of Ubuntu karmic 9.10. But no luck.

title SliTaz GNU/Linux (cooking) (Kernel 2.6.30.6-slitaz)
root (hd0,9)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30.6-slitaz root=/dev/sda10

Please help me to put correct lines. The above lines do not boot. There is always error. Thanks in advance.
best regards
Dean!

 

You should be able to boot to Ubuntu and run :

Code:

sudo update-grub

If that does not automatically update and add Slitaz, you will need to do some manual edits :

See this wiki page for more detailed instructions on grub2 and making a custom menu :

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2

Don't be intimidated, once you get the basics you should be good to go

 

I run the grub update. when I tried to boot Slitaz, it gives error message:
Error 15: file not found.
I upgraded my grub2 from ubuntu 9.04.I will read the link you gave me.
Thanks.

 

No luck still. I have edited the file /etc/grub.d/40_custom using the following command given a forum member:
sudo gedit /etc/grub.d/40_custom

I ugrade the grub But Slitaz is not shown at boot menu.The following lines are I edited the file /etc/grub.d/40_custom.
#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
menuentry SliTaz GNU/Linux (cooking) (Kernel 2.6.30.6-slitaz) {

insmod ext3

set root= (hd0,10)

linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30.6-slitaz root=/dev/hda10

}

I am not sure why it is not working, but looking over what you have posted, you have lots of whitespace and did not quote your title.

Try :

Code:

#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0

menuentry "SliTaz GNU/Linux (cooking) (Kernel 2.6.30.6-slitaz)" {
set root=(hd0,10)
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30.6-slitaz root=/dev/hda10
}

Then, after making your edits, update grub again.

Does slitaz use an initrd ?

 

It works now.Thank you for your great suggestion.( This might help to new user. I install in ext3 but while putting as new entry it is used as ext2. red color is my new entry while editing)

#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type the
# menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change
# the 'exec tail' line above.
menuentry SliTaz GNU/Linux (cooking) (Kernel 2.6.30.6-slitaz) {
insmod ext2
set root= (hd0,10)
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30.6-slitaz root=/dev/hda10
}

 

Glad you got it working, thank you for posting the solution as I am sure it will help others as well.
