Hi,i have two harddisks.The first harddisk is master which has xp and Opensuse(DualBoot).so it has the opensuse bootloader…Later on i have installed Ubuntu8.04 in my second harddisk which is a slave harddisk…So is there any possibity to include ubuntu in Opensuse’s Bootloader…So that i can boot OpenSUSE,Ubuntu and XP from Opensuse’s bootloader…
Hi,
Yes, it is.
Add a new grub stanza in the menu.lst file from where you control the boot process of WXP and Open Suse.
This new stanza should point to the kernel and initrd files stored in the boot/root partition of your Ubuntu system.
Something like this:
title Ubuntu
root (hd1,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-xxxxxx root=/dev/sdb1
initrd /initrd-xxxxxx
Notice that I used (hd1,0) to tell grub to fetch the kernel and initrd needed to boot Ubuntu from the first partition of your second disk, which happens to be that mounted on /boot. If those objects are located in other partition you would have to use the corresponding grub number.
Adapt the above to your needs and settings.
Regards.

openSuSE is using the GRUB bootloader by default, so this should really be
just a matter of modifying /boot/grub/menu.lst. You can do this either
manually, or through YaST2 | System | Bootloader. Your existing entries
should look something like:
title openSUSE 11.0 - 2.6.25.11-0.1
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.25.11-0.1-default root=/dev/sda2 vga=835
initrd /initrd-2.6.25.11-0.1-default
So, you’ll have to add a title, root location (like hd1,0), kernel, root,
and initrd.
HTH!
