My laptop's (HP Pavilion zv6015) grub.conf:
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,2)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda6
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda3
default=0
timeout=9
splashimage=(hd0,2)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora Core (2.6.13-1.1526_FC4)
root (hd0,2)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.13-1.1526_FC4 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb
no_timer_check=0
initrd /initrd-2.6.13-1.1526_FC4.img
title Fedora Core (2.6.12-1.1456_FC4)
root (hd0,2)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.12-1.1456_FC4 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb
no_timer_check=0
initrd /initrd-2.6.12-1.1456_FC4.img
title Windoze XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
I keep Windoze on it since that seems the only way to get BIOS updates.
Cheers,
Dave
