My requirement is to have the following OS's in my computer.
Windows 7
Redhat Linux 4
Oracle Enterprise Linux 5
First install Windows 7.
Using Windows 7 Disk Manager, create 3 partitions
say
hda5 => 50 GB (For RedHat Linux)
hda6 => 6 GB (For the Swap , we can use the same Swap for other linux install also)
hda7 => 50GB ((For Oracle Linux)
Now this install Redhat Linux 5 , select the root(/) partition as hda5
and swap as hda6. In the install screen please select the option to install the grub.
Now install Oracle Linux 5 , here select the root(/) partition as hda7
and swap as hda6.
In the install do not choose to install the grub option as you already have grub installed
by the first install.
Now Boot the machine in to Redhat Linux and mount the hda7 partition.
mount /dev/hda7 /test
Find out the files under the directory /test/boot directory ,
ls vm* init*
initrd-2.6.18-194.el5.img vmlinuz-2.6.18-194.el5
initrd-2.6.18-194.el5PAE.img vmlinuz-2.6.18-194.el5PAE
Now edit the /etc/grub.cong file and add the following entries
title Enterprise Linux (2.6.18-194.el5PAE)
root (hd0,7)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-194.el5PAE ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-194.el5PAE.img
title Enterprise Linux-base (2.6.18-194.el5)
root (hd0,7)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-194.el5 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-194.el5.img
After this restart the machine and now you will see OEL , Windows 7 and Redhat in the grub boot screen.
