Grub and XP

[Luis Acero]

I don't know what is wrong with this configuration but I have try most of
the suggestions on the web.

What I want is:
- to have the Windows loader boot and from there select either WINXP or 
Linux.

The config:

- WinXP and Fedora 1.
- 2 HDs, one with NTFS for XP and a second one for Linux with the
following partitions:

# df -k

Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdb7             17512208   1840748  14781864  12% /
/dev/hdb1               101086      6348     89519   7% /boot
/dev/hdb2             17132844     38832  16223692   1% /home
/dev/hdb3              3166632         4   3166628   1% /linuxp
none                    127776         0    127776   0% /dev/shm
/dev/hdb5              1004024     61964    891056   7% /var

The grub.conf file:

address@hidden root]# more /boot/grub/grub.conf
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd1,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Linux
        root (hd1,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl ro root=/dev/hdb7
        initrd /initrd-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl.img

What I did:
- In the setup of fedora I choose not to install any loader.
- After booting with a floppy, I did: "grub-install /dev/hdb1" and created a 
grub.conf in /boot/grub. Using "dd", created a boot.lin file,
which I later copy to the first HD. Added a new entry in boot.ini to use
boot.lin when "linux" is selected.

The problem:
Any time linux is selected I get a frozen "GRUB".

Any ideas?
