Hi all

I have two HDD's, one with Windows which I need for work some of the time,
and the other had Red Hat 7.3 on it.  The Boot controller is Grub.

I have repartitioned the Linux disk and installed the latest Debian (1.3.7
I think).

Grub still gives a choice of Windows 98 or Red Hat 7.3.   If you choose
Windows it proceeds without any problem, but choosing Red Hat causes kernel
panic, obviously  To fire up Debian I have to boot from a floppy disk
(Debian boot disk).

Does anyone know how to edit Grub so that it looks for Debian and not Red
Hat?   If not, any other suggestions would also be welcome.

Kind regards
