Fedora Installation :: Adding Windows XP To GRUB?
Jul 22, 2010I have installed Windows 7 64-bit, Fedora 13 64-bit and Windows XP 32-bit. I had to install the 32-bit XP for some driver issues I have with obscure devices I own. Windows 7 and Fedora both boot with no issues but Windows XP is not the in the GRUB loader as it was installed after Fedora. I have tried adding a few entries to the menu.lst file but my attempts failed. The output of fdisk -l is here
Code:
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Fedora Installation :: Adding A Ɖ' To End Of Grub Line + Beta --> Production?
Nov 5, 2009- Off a vanilla F11 livecd install, I stuck a 3 at the end of my grub line to boot into runlevel 3. I have been doing this for as long as I can remember (since Fedora 3). However now it seems to break and gives me a GRUB error. I press e to edit, and delete the 3. BUt it still throws and error?!?!?!?! Has this facility (ie sticking a number at the end of the grub line) been changed and why is my grub line now broken even though I've gone back and deleted the 3?
- If I install Fedora 12 beta now, will yum take me all the way into production when it goes live (assuming no killer bugs encountered), I'm guessing thats a yes?
Fedora Installation :: Reconfigure Grub When Adding Disk To Machine Where Both Disks Have Own MBRs?
Mar 17, 2010How do I reconfigure grub when adding a disk to a machine where both disks have their own MBRs? I have two volumes:Disk 1 - actually mirrored RAID-1 drives managed by ICH9R on the motherboard Disk 2 - a single drive managed by ICH9R on the motherboard, but without RAID. Disk 1 is the "old" disk containing WinXP on the first partition. The MBR of Disk 1 was created by Windows. Disk 2 was built on the machine while Disk1 was unplugged. Disk2 has Win7 on /dev/sda1 and Fedora 12 on /dev/sda7. Obviously, Disk 2 has grub installed on its own MBR.
When I plug-in both Disk 1 and Disk 2 at the same time, I would like to reconfigure grub so that it gives me the option to switch between WinXP on Disk 1, Fedora on Disk 2 and Win7 on Disk 2. (I may also want to install Ubuntu on another partition of Disk 1, but that's a separate issue.) The problem is that when I plug in Disk 1, Disk 1 becomes /dev/dm-0 and Disk 2 becomes /dev/sdc (instead of /dev/sda as when I installed it). (I don't think I can switch this order because I'm worried that Windows will become confused.) So, how do I keep all partitions the same and get them all to work from grub? On which MBR will I need to install grub? How do I configure it to see all 3-4 of my operating systems? Do I fix grub from the Fedora LiveCD?
Fedora :: Get The Graphical Screen Back By Adding Vga=795 To /boot/grub/grub.conf
Nov 21, 2009since i have installed the nvidia drivers i have lost the graphical boot and just had a bar at the bottom of the screen instead. i tried to get the graphical screen back by adding vga=795 to my /boot/grub/grub.conf but when i rebooted not only did i not get the graphical boot or the toolbar at bottom.
i got list of all the drivers and services it is starting with ok next to it. i have also since doing this lost the bit when restarting or shutting down getting the words restarting or shutting down and just get blank screen with flashing cursor. i removed the vga=795 and i still get the list of drivers/services loading.
how do i get the quiet option back. i have checked /boot/grub/grub.conf and it has the quiet in it.i have also tried running update-grub but get message command not found. i have attached the grub.conf file
Ubuntu Installation :: Adding Partitions To The Grub
Apr 21, 2010I've using win7 and 9.10 for a few months now. Today I decided to install yet another OS, but during installation a new grub was written to the mbr. Result: I can no longer boot Ubuntu.This is what my menu.lst looks like
Quote:
timeout 10
color black/cyan yellow/cyan
gfxmenu (hd0,4)/boot/gfxmenu
default 0

I can see and mount my 9.10 partition just fine from the new OS, it's located on dev/sda6.And I'd still very much like to keep using Ubuntu. So, how do I go about editing this file to make it work?
Ubuntu :: Adding A Mandriva Installation To Grub?
May 7, 2010I'm trying to add mandriva to grub2 and have difficulties..
Mandriva has it own boot partition on sda1 (ext3) Ubuntu boots in /boot on ubuntu's / partition which is sdb6
Mandriva / partition is: sda5 (ext4)
UUID for Mandriva boot partition is: bf53ebd1-4698-4522-ae0d-f9465aa2f0a3 (sda1)
UUID for Mandriva / is: 658bcd3e-9c69-49c9-8da1-a7e0b9723547 (sda5)
UUID for Mandriva swap is: d3bc2559-4f86-4269-bf25-c99e726c8775 (sda7)
Ive made a file which I have put in /etc/grub.d/ so each time I run update-grub2 it also includes this script.
Code:
echo "Adding Mandriva 2010.1" >&2
cat << EOF
menuentry "Mandrivas 2010.1, linux 2.6.33.3" {

It gives error kernel panic, and something with initrd beeing shut down before completion

Mar 29, 2010This is no huge problem, but it is rather annoying to me. I am using the 10.4 beta, and whenever I get a large update (like a updated kernel) GRUB adds another boot option to the menu (I'm dual booting Vista and Ubuntu.) So my GRUB menu looks something like this when I turn my computer on:
GNU GRUB version 1.98-1ubuntu2
Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.32-18-generic
Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.32-18-generic (recovery mode)

Ubuntu :: Adding Irqpoll To /etc/default/grub File - Installation 99%?
Mar 14, 2011I have been helped by repo in this post [URL]..Here's a quick resume: I made changes in the grub menu for just one boot I selected the first option Ubuntu with Linux 2.6.35-27-generic edited the Linux /vmlinux ro quiet splash by adding irqpoll to the end. I rebooted and the system booted correctly into the GUI.
I then tried to edit the /etc/default/grub file by booting into the recovery mode, opening a terminal, using command sudo vi /etc/default/grub and adding irqpoll to the end of the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX DEFAULT="quiet splash". Followed by update-grub to update the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file
Unfortunately when I try to reboot I find that the system will not boot and hangs as before on the purple screen after a logon. I know that I have edited the /etc/default/grub file correctly because I have confirmed this by reviewing the file. So my question is why does the "one boot method" work but the edit file method not work ? I must be doing something wrong.

Fedora :: Dual Booting - Grub Keeps Adding New Entries On Updates
Aug 21, 2011I'm kinda new to Linux. My problem is that a new Fedora O/S entry is added onto grub everytime I receive an update on Fedora (I think). Eg:
Fedora 15 15.40.0-4 ...
Fedora 15 15.40.0-3 ...
Fedora 15 15.38.0-0 ...
Windows 7
How do I stop this? Ideally I'll only have two entries, Fedora 15 and Windows 7 where Windows is set as the default primary o/s to boot up. The current method I use is to fiddle around with that grub file and set default to entry 3, which used to be Windows 7 but is now a Fedora (which means Fedora is now set to default boot up).
Ubuntu :: 10.04 - Adding Grub Partition On Different HD
Jun 13, 2010I've got two drives, one with Ubuntu 10.4 and one with Win 7. My BIOS boots to the Ubuntu drive, which has Grub2 installed. Apparently though, since I have Win7 on the other drive, Grub doesn't find it and won't generate a boot menu entry for it. I'm attempting to just add one to the menu by editing /etc/grub.d/40_custom, but those attempts aren't quite working. That adds an entry to the menu, but apparently I've got a parameter wrong somewhere.
View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Adding Windows To Grub?
May 11, 2011I have been running 11.04 for what i'd say is about a month now. In the very beginning, i shredded through a few installs, because i couldn't get windows and 10.04 to play nice. With the new update, and some renewed motivation (Portal 2), i'd like to try to get both up and running again.
First, the details. I installed both OS's in a jumbled order, realized that i basically effed everything, and wiped both drives clean. I then installed windows, then Ubuntu 10.04. I think my main point of error was the way i set up the boot sectors on my final Ubuntu install, but i can't remember how i did it. all i know is that linux is sda, and windows is sdb. what is strange, however, is when i do an Fdisk of my mounted drives, i see 3 partitions under sda1, labeled sda1, sda2, and sda5
On to the previously tried methods: I've tried a simple mount of the windows drive, followed by a "sudo update-grub." all this gets me is a list consisting of 11.01, 11.01 backup, 10.04, 10.04 backup, and memtest86+. not even a hint of windows.
I've tried "sudo grub-install" on both sda and sdb, but still no dice.
That's about all i've tried. I've searched for the past week with limited results, and i'd really like to avoid reinstalling ubuntu if at all possible. Any other information, like an fdisk results list or anything like that can be provided if need be.

Jun 1, 2011I don't follow why the Suspend option is there and the Reboot and Shutdown is not. Can anyone guide me to the code needed to add the selections. I know I can use a Terminal to shutdown or reboot but a simpler solution would be nice. I expect there are methods to fix most of what I don't like about Gnome 3 but I haven't found them yet. Is there a central place for the solutions needed to deminimalize Gnome 3? I really prefer one click control.

Now i want to use grub to present a menu at boot so i can select an OS. Because I installed XP last it boots straight into XP. I've understood i should be able to do the following:
All goes well until the last step (grub-install). It gives an error stating that /dev/sda doesn't exist, which is correct; It doesn't. I do have the "device" listed outside of the chrooted environment.

Jan 28, 2010I'm using slackware 13 and now i want to add slackware 13 to grub .How do i have to do it ? Slackware is great to learn because i've a lot of linux using slackware than using any other distro. But some programs are dependant on other which i was not able to install, they call it dependencies. Even though compiling from source is great but runnning the program is a problem as the program terminates may be because of some dependency not installed.The same goes with sbopkg and others ..As of now i'm thinking of installing Ubuntu along with Slackware13 as this system is used by everybody in the family.
