Karmic & Grub2 & Windows 2000

[super4sang]

Hello,

My config:
Karmic is installed on sda1 (1st disk)
Windows 2000 is installed on sdb1 (2nd disk)

MBR is installed on sda

My previous configuration was using LILO and I was able to boot Windows with the following section in lilo.conf:

other=/dev/sdb1
label=W2K
boot-as=0x80
table=/dev/sdb

Now, with grub2, I'm still able to boot karmic, but when I try to start Windows, it results a black screen with a white cursor at the top left (no error). The following section is defined in grub.cfg for Windows:

menuentry "Windows 2000 Professional" {
set root=(hd1)
drivemap -s hd0 hd1
chainloader +1
}

I have tried "set root=(hd1,1)" as well without success.

Any idea ?

Thx,

Nicolas

Maybe try it with the drivemap ... line commented out (using #)?

Thanks for the proposal, but already tried. FYI, vven with section automatically generated by 30_os-prober:

menuentry "Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional (on /dev/sdb1)" {
insmod ntfs
set root=(hd1,1)
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 2c0eb9420be4d3f2
drivemap -s (hd0) ${root}
chainloader +1
}

Same symptoms.

Best,

Nicolas
