How to fix /boot/grub/menu.lst - part 2 of 2 parts

[joe]

Thanks very much, Craig. 

Just to be sure that I am understanding you correctly, 
are you saying that while booted in to the mandriva 
partition, as root, at the command line, I just type this: 

mkinitrd initrd-win4lin-2.6.12-12mdk.img win4lin-2.6.12-12mdk

... and the system will (or should) reboot to the win4lin kernel? 

Then, I'm assuming that if this works, I'll need to build a 
new /boot/grub/menu.lst in the mandriva partition to replace 
the one currently being used in the mepis partition. Is that 
right?  I know, one step at a time, but just trying to get 
this all in focus. ;)) 

Thanks again for your suggestions. 

Joe
