Hha is my burner, hdb is my cdrom, and hdc is my hdd. It's a IDE and connected through the master connector in the second cable, with the two opticals on the first cable. Kinda made me scratch my head at first, too, though.

I am thinking that maybe during the download or burning of the ISO the data became corrupted. I retrieved my 8.2 CD and reinstalled it with the same configuration, grub installed to root and chainloaded through the grub on the mbr. Everything works great. The pnp error is gone too. Maybe it was a bad initrd not loading the drivers for the drive.

Thanks for the help everybody. I may have ended up at square one, but I learned a lot in the process.

Hi. I've installed AntiX 8.5 recently and am trying to boot it from a preexisting distro (Vector) which lives on hda1 on my partition, but no luck.

Coukd someone please tell me what entries I need in my grub menu.list file in order to boot AntiX, which is installed on partition hda6 on my hard drive?

Thanks in advance,

Colonel Panic.

Hi Col. From inside Vector, mount the antiX partition, go to its /boot/grub/menu.lst and copy the entry to Vector's menu.lst.
That's supposing you installed GRUB to antiX's root partition when installing the system. If you skipped GRUB's installation altogether then I (or someone else) will have to look in my menu.lst and post the entry here (I'm on Windows so I can't see antiX's partition from here).

Sorry for the delay. You could add the following to Vector's menu.lst: If you have problems, try changing hda6 for sda6, since sda is what antiX uses.

Thanks for the replies and info secipolla, I'll look into it.

Best,
