Hi,
since updating from 7 to 8, grub does not recognize my first two
partitions.

I have a T43 with onde HD and 6 Partitions, the first 2 are 2 seperated
XP Partitions:

title 1
        hide (hd0,0)
        unhide (hd0,1)
        parttype (hd0,0) 0x83
        parttype (hd0,1) 0x07
        rootnoverify (hd0,1)
        makeactive
        chainloader +1

title 2
        hide (hd0,1)
        unhide (hd0,0)
        parttype (hd0,0) 0x07
        parttype (hd0,1) 0x83
        rootnoverify (hd0,0)
        makeactive
        chainloader +1

The hide and parttype trick hinders the booted XP to see the other XP.

Since Fedora 8 i become error 22 8unknown partition. When i set the
parttype correct, i was able to boot the xp while deleting the first 4
lines in grub.conf.

Has the syntax in grub changed?
