Fedora Installation :: Windows 7 Beta Won't Boot After Fedora 10 Install

Jan 31, 2009

Originally I had Ubuntu running on my machine. I installed windows beta 7 with a working dual boot. Get everything working in grub again. I decided to give Fedora a try and wiped my Ubuntu partition and installed Fedora. Everythings all good...except the reconfiguration of grub has left out my Windows 7 partition (nothing out of the norm) I tried manually adding windows 7 to /boot/grub/menu.lst but it's not working, when I try to boot into Windows 7 i get a little flashing "_" for a really long time and nothing happens.

Fedora Installation :: Fedora Won't Install Dual Boot / Sort It?

Jul 28, 2009

I tried a number of times to install dual boot with Win2k. I keep getting errors at the stage of setting up the partition for the install. When I try to choose ext4 it says Fedora cannot be installed on a bootable drive, fix the problem. I don't see how to fix it...it does not say what to do or change.

I have had other linux installed in the same partition without a problem. What gives?

150GB drive for both OS's Separate drive for data, not involved in the install.

| 72GB NTFS Win2K | 76 GB free for ext3 and swap |

LBA support on in Bios.

Fedora Installation :: Can't Boot Into XP After Install

Mar 17, 2009

I just did an install of Fedora 10 on my laptop (Thinkpad x60s). Fedora is running fine but now I can't boot into windows! I adjusted my grub.conf in every way my limited knowledge base will allow.

When I choose XP from the boot menu the screen just goes dark and the system reboot back to grub.

Here is my grub.conf and results from fdisk -l

Code:

Partition table entries are not in disk order

Fedora Installation :: F10 Install OK But Will Not Boot

Apr 23, 2009

I read the thread with a similar title, however the symptoms I see are different. I just built a new server around an Intel Core 2 Duo sitting on an IP43 mobo. I initially installed the 32 bit F10 and it ran fine. I downloaded the _64 release and installed that over the top. Clean installation, no errors. On boot the machine gets to

Setting up other filesystems.

type=1404 audit(1240447703.664:2): enforcing=1 old_enforcing=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295

Switching to new root and running init.

I can boot the thing into rescue mode but I can't find any core dumps, no messages in log files, nada. Very perplexing.

Fedora Installation :: Can't Get Install CD To Boot

May 1, 2009

I have a really old Dell Poweredge 2600, with no DVD drive and no ability to boot from USB so I downloaded the CD's for FC10, but when I try to boot off the CD it brings up to the "Press enter for graphical mode, F1 for main, etc" screen, but I cannot get past this screen. It isn't locked up as CTRL-ALT-DEL reboots the computer, but it won't load into the installation. I have tried burning the CD1 multiple times (all on my macbook using disk utility if that makes a difference), but I still can't get it to boot. I have some FC9 cd's and they boot fine.

The status bar loads completely but then the machine just sits there on this screen. I am not dual booting - F13 is the only OS on the machine. system responds when I press 'power' button or Ctrl+Alt+Del by running through some type of shutdown procedure that kills running processes.BTW, this is an older dell system, Pentium 4, 512mb ram

Fedora Installation :: Unable To Boot After Install F10

Jan 17, 2009

Just installed a fresh copy of F10. After install, when I boot It goes through a screen where it shows 3 bars loading. Once the last bar (white) is finished, and fedora 10 becomes white, nothing happens. If i press any key, it will give me a msg saying something along the lines of "reading contents of drive vol000 this make take a while". I rebooted after 2 hours. When i came back, I waited 8 hours.

Fedora Installation :: F10 New Install - Hangs Up During Boot

Jan 19, 2009

I have just completed a dual boot installation of FC10. The install was done from CD's I downloaded from the Fedora website. The installation (seemed to have) went fine, and the machine still boots into XP if selected from the menu. The Fedora installation does not complete the boot process. I have three bars that move across the bottom of the screen, and the Fedora 10 graphic tuns white, and then the system hangs. I have let it sit at this screen for as long as 30 minutes. The screen will blank occasionally, but returns to the same place if I hit a key on the keyboard.

I have it installed on an old HP E800 netserver, running dual P3-866mHz processors, 2GB ram, a ATI Radeon 7000 video card, and three 36GB SCSI drives, non-raid. I know FC10 will run on this machine, as I have a friend running it on another E800 without any problems. This machine does have on-board video that is disabled only by plugging a different video card in (Phoenix BIOS).

Fedora Installation :: Error On Install CD Boot

Oct 13, 2009

So I've been having major problems with Ubuntu, and I've decided to give Fedora a try. But low and behold, I'm having some troubles here too.

The install CD gets past the point where it has the 3 colored bars on the bottom of the screen loading up the system. Then it goes to a screen and prints out some lines (pretty sure its just part of the system booting up). So everything is going fine, then it gets to the following line...

Code:

VFS: inodes on changed media or resized disk sr0

And it keeps spitting that line out over and over and over again.

I googled this error, and apparently it can happen sometimes if your HD isn't connected properly or isn't talking with the computer properly. But I know that it is because I currently have a 250g partition with Vista on it that I can access just fine. And also a 250g ubuntu partition on it.

However, when I try to go into the Ubunut installation via grub, it says that it doesn't exist.

So do I need to use gparted or something to reformat that portion of my hard drive? Or is there something else I can do to get that error message to go away?

Fedora Installation :: Boot Windows7 After Install 12

Dec 31, 2009

I have a laptop that has multiple partitions and was running Windows 7. I installed Fedora in a area of free space in the extended area, thus in a logical partition. Fedora is now running on the laptop. But, at boot time, there is NO BOOT MANAGER. The laptop just boots straight away to Fedora.

I know this has probably been covered, but is there an "official" procedure or document available to us newbies that I can use to recover my system such that it boots all of my installed bootable partitions (including Windows7)?

Fedora Installation :: 10 Install - Burned Dvds Would Not Boot

Jan 30, 2009

I'm trying to install fedora 10 via dvd without a lot of success. i'm doing this on an old hp 8765c computer. it has a sansung sd-612 dvd-rom player. the dvd's i burned would not boot. so, i checked the dvd. sha1sum. check verify dvd when burned. check boot on system where the dvd burned. check dvd verify when bootedc check ok, lets check the dvd player. From i can see on the web, this player had issues about not playing dvds. some relate to driver issue when upgrading me to xp. and, some refer to updating firmware. lots of post about the dvd player not playing dvds. None with a succinct solution.

Well, if anyone has a solution for updating the firmware for a samsung sd-623 dvd player, it would be helpful. For now, installing from the internal dvd player isn't going to work for hardware reasons. Plan B lets try installing from the dvd using a network attached dvd server. sing the net install cd. use linux askmethod, use url to point to the dvd. the image in retreived, select all the defautl options, format the drive, does the package selection, does the package dependencies, but errors on the retriving packages. puts up the download retry message. then show message about not being able to retreive the authcong-gkt... rpm. just let the net install go. i get to the nic configuration, it errors out. probably network manager issue about trying to set a static ip address.........

Fedora Installation :: Install From LiveUSB - 11 - Boot Can't Be Ext4

Jun 9, 2009

I booted into the Fedora 11 on my netbook, and used the desktop icon to install to hard-drive. I specified to use "Free space", and hit next. From there, it just stalls. The "Install Fedora" window does nothing, and I'm going on a half-hour now of nothing.

Tried three times, still nothing.

The first time I tried, I chose to replacce old linux installation (ubuntu), and when I told it to install Fedora 11 root as ext4, it said the boot can't be ext4... so I chose ext3 and it said root device must be ext4...

Fedora Installation :: Network Install Using USB As Boot Media

Can I do a network install using a USB as the boot media. I couldn't find the steps in the long installation help. It explains how to make a livecd boot USB drive but nothing for USB. Please make it clear with exact steps. [URL] says that I have to copy diskboot.img from /Images in install cd but there is no such file. There is a install.img should that be used instead.

Fedora Installation :: F11-install From External DVD Using Boot.img CD Fails?

Jul 24, 2009

I have sevral older machines that cannot boot from usb. Until now I have installed fedora using the provided boot.iso on a CD and an external USB dvd drive with the full install DVD.

With Fedora 11, this fails. It gets as far as "finding storage devices" and fails, telling me that an unhandled exception has occured. It offers to save the details, but freezes looking for a suitable location. I have no such problems with the same DVD/external rw drive on systems that can boot directly from usb.

Fedora Installation :: Install Still Attempts Window Boot

Sep 26, 2009

I'm having an issue installing Fedora 11 on my system. After the install, I remove the DVD media, reboot the system, and it reports an error stating that Windows cannot start, missing or corrupted hal.dll file. I appologize if this is a common problem or has already been answered. My searches haven't yielded helpful information, mostly what I've found is people attempting to setup dual-boot machines or boot Fedora via the Windows Boot Loader.I have experience in computers, although I am completely new to Linux/Fedora. Through my work, I have experience using AIX, but no experience installing or managing drive partitions.The system in question is a 5 year old Windows XP system that I built myself. The system has two drives (C: and D: in Windows). The C: drive was the Windows install drive and the D: drive was added later for additional storage. I am attempting to completely overwrite Windows on this machine. I want it to single boot into Fedora 11, I am not looking for a dual-boot system. The system will become a network file server.

The specs of the system are...
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 3500+
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-K8NSNXP-939
RAM: 2GB

I downloaded the DVD iso for Fedora 11 x86_64 via Bit Torrent, burned the ISO to DVD and booted the system from DVD. I ran through the install (Anaconda 11.5.0.59) and see the following information on the screens..

Fedora Installation :: How To Install Win7 And F12 Dual Boot

Feb 7, 2010

I am a major noob to FC12. I need to install Windows 7 Pro and FC12 dual boot. I first used the windows CD to create 1 250 Gig partition on my 500 Gig HD. Of course windows created the 100 MB system partition. I left the rest unpartitioned. Windows installed okay. I then booted to the KDE FC12 Live CD and installed FC12. I specified to use the Free Space remaining on the HD. The installation finished but now only boots into FC12 and does not prompt me for the OS I want to boot.

My laptop died while installing F12, without completing installation. Now I can not boot the computer from HD, CD, or USB. I have flashed the BIOS with the most recent ROM. I can access the BIOS setup and exhausted all my options there, which is mainly boot order. At the moment, the boot process goes to a blinking cursor and does not allow for input. The laptop in question is a lenovo Y510 that was previously running F10 with a single partition.

Fedora Installation :: 15 Does Not Boot After Install Goes Straight To Windows

May 27, 2011

I have a multi-drive system:

C: RAID 10 (WD 500 GB x4)
D: Data Drive (WD 1.5 TB)
E: Back-up ( Seagate 3 TB)

I shrunk the 3TB drive (E: ) to give me a free unallocated 60GB. Boot to F15 live DVD and did a custom install of the partition.Using the 60GB unallocated partition, use 500 MB /boot, 2GB /swap, and the remaining for /root and chose Fedora bootloader The installation completed successfully but after reboot it just goes straight to Windows 7-64. I have a AMD Phenom II X6 1100T 3.3Ghz with 8 GB DDR3 memory. RAID controller is a HighPoint RocketRAID 4320 PCI-Express and the other drives are connected to HighPoint RocketHybrid 1220 PCI-Express 2.0 SATA III controller. Only the DVD-ROM and Blue-Ray drives are plugged into the mobo's nVidai SATA controller.

I'm not sure if its the drive configuration is causing the problem or Grub was not written to the MBR but apparently it wont let me boot to F15. I'm also running 4 monitors with 2 x Radeon XFX HD-697A-CNDC HD 6970 but only one video card (2 monitors) are working. During boot to the live DVD I notice that it switches from each pair of monitors but not all 4 and only after the login screen that only my 2 monitors are working. I tried the monitor detect and it only see 2 monitors.

Ps. I just love F15 Gnome3. I'm moving from Ubuntu 11.04 Natty.

Fedora Installation :: 14 Install Failure With Dual Boot?

Aug 21, 2011

I downloaded Fedora 15 Live and Fedora 14 Live to try to see where Linux is for music and broadcast audio on a laptop. It turns out I have to use 14. 14 and 15 both sort of work as live out of the box, although why they ship with the common Broadcom wifi driver missing and the touchpad tap disabled beats me. I also never found the magic button to close down 15. There must be one, but blow me I couldn't find it. Then I tried to follow the instructions at [URL] which mostly seemed to work. I need to keep Win 7 as this is the 32-bit test machine. I used EasyBCD v2.1 rather than the older version the guide is written for.

Booting into Win7 at first worked, then a boot into Linux stopped at a line that said something about a kernel thread helper Then Win 7 blue screened on boot, although it would boot to Safe Mode. Removed Veriface from the Lenovo laptop and it would boot Win 7. Tried setting Drive in EasyBCD to "Boot" rather than "C:" for Fedora. Now booting Fedora gave a Windows missing file message and croaked. Repairing startup with the Win 7 boot CD cured Win 7. Repeated the loop with the same failures. Re-partitioned and re-installed Fedora and just the same - a screen of text that stops. I can now boot to Windows and need help to sort out the Linux boot. How do I start to investigate the screen of text saying things like "__bad_area_nosemaphore" ?

Fedora Installation :: Fedora 10 Install DVD Won't Boot

Feb 1, 2009

Decided to move away from Microsoft and after much reading on the various options decided Fedora 10 was what I needed.So, current set up is 750mb of ram, 120gb hdd, amd 1500ghz processor. Currently running XP. All I plan to do is get rid of xp entierly and replace it with a clean insall of Fedora.So I downloaded the install dvd iso file, wrote it to dvd, popped the dvd in the drive and re-set the computer (as far as I can make out from the install doc this is what I'm suppossed to do so far). Now, to bood from a dvd I just need to press "esc" on start up and change the boot priority to that drive, so I did that. Now is where I have the problem, the next screen to appear says;

ISOLINUX 3.61 2008-02-03 Copyright (C) 1994-2008 H. Peter Anvin
isolinux: Disk error 27, AX = 4204, drive 9F

Boot failed: press a key to retry..Now when I press a key to retry the inevetible repeat of the same screan occurs.I have searched for help and don't seem to find anyone having a similar problem, am I doing something wrong?
