grub> find /boot/initrd...  did not fing the file though, there is an
/initrd.img file in /root directory.  How do I confirm if it is
associated with the 2.6.10 kernel?    I guess I can just add it to
menu.lst.

My box has three hard drives and one dvd drive. as i stated earlier,
the setup is something like this:
root is on hdc1
home is on hdc2
winxp/C is on hda1
win98/D is on hdb1
dvd is hdd

my menu.lst is has follows:

title		aGNUla/DeMuDi, kernel 2.6.10-1-multimedia-k7 
root		(hd2,0)
kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-1-multimedia-k7 root=/dev/hdc1 ro 
savedefault
boot

title		aGNUla/DeMuDi, kernel 2.6.10-1-multimedia-k7 (recovery mode)
root		(hd2,0)
kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-1-multimedia-k7 root=/dev/hdc1 ro single
savedefault
boot

root		(hd2,0)
kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.25-1-multimedia-k7 root=/dev/hdc1 ro 
initrd		/boot/initrd.img-2.4.25-1-multimedia-k7

  Hi,
 I installed the 2.6.10-1-multimedia-k7 kernel via synaptic.  and then
 i gave the  update-grub coomand.  menu.lst was automatically updated;
 this is the new entry:

 title           aGNUla/DeMuDi, kernel 2.6.10-1-multimedia-k7
 root            (hd2,0)
 kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-1-multimedia-k7 root=/dev/hdc1 ro

 (1) You need to post to this list the entire GRUB menu, so we can see
 the menu item which works.

 (2) If I recall correctly, (hd2,0) is the third hard drive in the
 system, whereas hdc corresponds to the IDE Secondary Master channel;
 check with the GRUB manual (google for it).  Many people have a CD-ROM
 drive connected as the IDE Primary Slave; this corresponds to hdb.

 (3) Use the GRUB 'find' command to search your system for the missing
 initrd file.  Again, see the GRUB manual, and don't forget to prefix
 the file name with '/':

     grub> find /initrd...

 and note that TAB completion works with file names when using 'find',
 which is a great help.
