You usually find the 'device.map' file in /boot/grub for both grub1 and grub2... not sure which one you use (haven't followed this thread, sorry). > But the kernel I want to use is on sda1. The OS is on sdb tho. Hm... did you mean to write 'sdb1' (your /boot partition as mentioned earlier in the thread) or do you mean that you want to boot a kernel located in sda1 and still use sdb1 as your /boot partition? I don't see how the last part would work... You need to tell grub where your / (root) partition are named (by grub convention). You find out what hdX maps to what drive (sdX) through grub or the 'device.map' file that should have been created when you set up grub. HTH Best regards Peter K
