Okay, I have a triple-boot going:
Win XP Pro on /dev/sda1
Ubuntu 12.04 on /dev/sda7
(I know this sound weird):
Puppy Slacko 5.5 FRUGAL on a dedicated EXT4 partition - /dev/sda7

vmlinuz and initrd.gz are both stored on / in sda7 (not a subfolder.)

What do I need to set the Puppy menu entry to for Grub 2? I have Grub Customizer installed on Ubuntu.

Currently, the Puppy entry is:
Code:
insmod ext4
set root='(hd0,6)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 342e3978-cdf7-4aa2-98e8-5bc4651b22f9
linux /vmlinuz
initrd /initrd.gz


But that just returns a few errors (will edit them in after I reboot, I think they were 2 file not founds and one Invalid Command error...)

Anyway, if someone could cook up the correct command, I would appreciate it greatly! Will provide any other requested details.

Hi JamesTheAwesomeDude

This should help you get a feel for what’s needed, this is my menu.lst using grub4dos. Although not grub2 - it is very similar.
I would normally put each puppy in it’s own individual folder, thus allowing numerous frugal installs to a single partition.
I prefer grub4dos because it is intuitive, extremely reliable, and it auto-magically generates a menu.lst when run.

HTH - regards - Ray

Try:

Code:
menuentry "Slacko 5.5 (frugal on sda7)" {
set root=(hd0,7)
linux /vmlinuz pmedia=atahd pfix=fsck
initrd /initrd.gz
}

Ubunntu and Slacko on their own partition ?
In normal GNU/Linux distros /vmlinuz is a link to /boot/vmlinuz-very-long-identifierer . Same with /initrd . Hope you have mixed everything and are repairing the mess Razz .
