Re: Problem to boot from seperate boot partition

A search on the forums will give you lots of ideas how others have had the same type of problem as you.

Edit: Deleted most of silly first post.  What do I know, never use a separate /boot partition.

Re: Problem to boot from seperate boot partition

Just use /vmlinuz and /kernel26.img since you are using a separate boot partition. That will solve this issue

Re: Problem to boot from seperate boot partition

The paths is relative to the root (hdx,y) option. Right now you are tilling grub that your kernel  is  /boot/boot/vmlinuz26
