I have windows XP in my system. i am going to install Fedora 11 in my system and use free space. i have 40GB free space but after installing all things when machine reboots. it gives error :insert Boot media.
View 2 RepliesToday I installed Fedora (I need it for school), but not everything seems to work fine Before installing Fedora on my Macbook I had a triple booting machine: Mac OSX snow leopard, Windows 7 and Ubuntu. (using rEFIt) All of them where working. Since I installed Fedora on the 4th partition I can only boot Mac OSX. When selecting one of the other OS's it says: "no bootable device insert boot disk and press any key"
View 5 Replies View RelatedI live in a country where 1Mbit broadband is a premium service for large businesses. I am paying a little over $40 a month for a 128k connection with monthly capping. I want to download Fedora but the download is just huge for my connection, especially as it is used for work 14 hours a day. I have attempted the LiveCD and got the 'ext4 cannot be used for boot' error. I also have several other specialised distros on this machine and it's going to be a pain inserting a new boot partition just for Fedora.
Like it is possible with Slackware, can I just download the first CD of the Fedora 11 set and get a minimal install from this or does Fedora need the whole set of disks? Is there a simple enough net install option that I could use instead? I can't understand why they can't just release something like Ubuntu's alternate install CD.
Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key. I got this error after: Reducing my Windows 7 partition by about 100gb. Creating a new partition (100gb) and copying my Ubuntu partition (10gb) to the new partition. After it was copied, and pasted, the original partition was deleted. I now had two partitions a new 100gb Ubuntu partition and a 600gb (or so) Windows 7 partition.
All of this was done using a bootable USB with Ubuntu 10.10 and GParted partition editor. Now when I boot I get the "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key." error.
trying to install Fedora 10. I'm novice in linux. Nut tryed some distros before, installation/config, fedora 9, Ubuntu 7-8, Suse 10, mandriva. everything was ok. Now i've new rig:

Am currently using Fedora 13. Yumex doing something I've never seen before. (I just recently downloaded the Fedora 14 DVD iso file; made a disk (w/Brasero) and tested it (good)).. But, now (I assume it may be connected) Yumex is asking for "Please insert media labelled Fedora 14 #1 ".
See image:
The thing is: Yumex should not even know anything about that.. Yum itself (from the command line) seems to work fine.. Anybody else have this happen?.. I haven't been able to get Yumex to work, now.. Tried removing Yumex and re-installing w/Yum.. That made no difference..Still get the same message, as shown in the image.. Ran "yum repolist" and list looks correct (all fc13).. did "yum clean all": ..made no difference.. (Will up upgrading to Fedora 14 soon, anyway.. but, I kinda would like Yumex to be working correctly, before I do..)
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.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI bought a t770.uk HP desktop PC, which came without a Hard drive as the pervious owner had removed it for security reasons. A week later I got a hold of a brand new - out of an anti-static sealed bag - compatible Western Digital Caviar SE 80GB SATA150 7200 HDD, and installed it as directed by my t770.uk manual. Up until now, things looked to be on a roll. As I don't have any windows OS, I figured Ubunutu would be the way to go (and it certainly is from what I've heard and read about it. I can't wait!).
So I sent off for a CD and it popped through my mail a few weeks back. The problem that I am having is after booting past a very brief view of the HP POST screen, the screen goes black with the error "Disc boot failure-insert system disk and press enter". I've tried placing the Ubuntu disc in (assuming it is asking for that? An OS disc) and restarting, and changing the boot order around, but no matter what I do the error persists and I can't install Ubuntu. I really want to get this PC running with Ubuntu.
I'm using the ./livecd-iso-to-disk.sh script to create a bootable usb. Now in the arguments you're supposed to indicate a partition name. But my usb device gets auto-mounted to /media. And if I try to pass in /dev/sdb it gives me a "no media detected" message. What do?

For some reason (hardware - I am guessing) the LiveCD does not boot on some laptops. The LiveCD worked well on my Dell Inspiron 1525 without any problems but my Fujitsu-Siemens refused to boot up. If you are trying to install or use F12 with the LiveCD ISO image burnt onto a CD on a laptop and fails with the following error:[drm:drm_mode_rmfb] *ERROR* tried to remove a fb that we didn't own Boot has failed, sleeping foreverthis workaround may work for you. Sometimes it will come up with another error about 'Root Device Not Found'
The workaround only works on a bootable USB key for some other reason, created with 'live-usb creator' and not a CD nor a LiveCD image on a USB created on a windows machine. I have tried them all.

This is an error I got from VLC Media Player:
Streaming / Transcoding failed:
It seems your FFMPEG (libavcodec) installation lacks the following encoder:
MPEG Audio layer 1/2/3.
If you don't know how to fix this, ask for support from your distribution. This is not an error inside VLC media player. Do not contact the VideoLAN project about this issue.
It said not to contact VideoLAN, but instead the Distro so...here I am. Was there a file I should download in order to fix this? If there is one, where do I place it or run it to stop this error?
I have a ViewSonic Windows Media PC. Would it be possible to get Ubuntu on it and get all of the information I need for the drivers that I'll have to somehow install to make it work on Ubuntu? I was going to work on an ancient POS but I can't get it to boot from USB and I have no CD-ROM for it.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've got CentOS 6 installed and am wondering if it's necessary to have installation media in order to run 'linux rescue'. (I have to do some LVM resizing and would rather do it from rescue mode than in a running system.)
What I've read about booting into linux rescue is that it seems to be necessary to have installation media and boot into that. But I'm wondering if it's possible to do it some other way, like from the grub menu? But it doesn't seem to be possible to enter 'linux rescue' from the grub command line (which I got to by typing 'c' in grub menu screen) - typing 'linux rescue' at grub command line says 'command not found'.
Maybe there's another way to do this? Or some fancy way to have loaded a rescue image or something onto my disk so I don't need installation media. There's 2 reasons why I'd like to enter linux rescue without installation media, both because my computer is very old. 1) My computer can't boot from USB, and 2) My CD/DVD tray is very unstable and keeps popping out intermittently, so I'd need to hold the tray in place during the whole LVM process and it's a real pain, and I wouldn't want to risk data corruption if the process is interrupted by my CD/DVD tray popping out.
I'm hoping there's some way - it'd also be nice to know how to do this if some urgent situation arose where I needed to enter linux rescue mode but didn't have installation media handy and it'd take to long to retrieve or create new installation media.

When I try to boot from a live media it just gets stuck at "ACPI: Core revision 20070126"
I've tried various CD's and it's just telling me the same thing. I can't figure out what is wrong.
Lately my i've experience that for some reason my computer would just turn off, and sometimes reboot.
I've read a little about ACPI, and it's a shortening for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface.
When entering my BIOS and going to the "Power"-tab i have the possibillity of enabling ACPI 2.0 support. Don't know if this is a good idea though, and i won't risk destroying my computer

Trying to give Fedora a proper trial by installing it on my main machine's hard drive. I tested the Live CD from a USB drive for a while and really liked it. Fedora is the first distro that I've tried that does Gnome Shell justice.
I haven't been able to get it to work on my system so far, however.
Some context: I have a triple-boot laptop (Windows 7, Debian, and now Fedora 15) with 4 physical partitions (True Crypt-encrypted W7, LUKS-encrypted Debian, LUKS-encrypted F15, and a boot partition). The True Crypt boot loader is on the MBR, and when I press Esc I get the Grub boot loader from the boot partition. This has worked well for me in the past, but something is awry now.
When I installed F15, I did not opt to install a boot loader (because I didn't want to have trouble getting into my other systems, which has happened to me before). Instead I booted up into Debian and ran update-grub, which found the Fedora partition and added an entry to Grub. I'm not sure whether that entry is correct, however, but editing it has not solved my problem.
When I choose the Fedora entry from Grub, it starts to boot and asks for the password to mount the partition. Shortly afterwards, however, it throws the following error: modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting padlock_sha (/lib/modules/kernel-name-here/kernel/drivers/crypto/padlock-sha.ko): No such device
Then it drops down to a shell and I can't do much from there.
I've tried blacklisting padlock-sha, but that doesn't make the error go away or get it to boot up.
I cant install vlc player or other media players in my fedora 11 .Every time it shows the dependency errors. Any media player get from the fedora yum server.
View 7 Replies View RelatedSo 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?
do you have any suggestions how I can install Ubuntu netbook edition on an old Laptop (Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebook 2131) currently running Windows 2000 with all servicepacks (if I recall correctly it is SP5) without boot-support for USB-Stick/Media, CD-ROM, PXE/netboot; booting is only supported from builtin harddisk and from floppy-disk drive, which is definitely broken. (with working floppy disk drive all would be fine). I also installed WUBI, but the harddisk is only 4 GB, so I had to use the USB-Stick as the Ubuntu install partition and this is not supported by the Laptop as it cannot boot from it.
Has anybody an idea, is it viable to online-resize an NTFS-partition to create a small linux-partition for bootstrapping the install?? I do not want to, it's still useful, so when crashing the NTFS-filesystem is likely I prefer not to take this route and leave the laptop with Win2k installed.
I am getting a message at my first re-boot after install of "Error 15: File Not Found", and that's as far as it goes. I just installed Fedora 11 on a Drive that I had recently ran Ubuntu 9.04. I did re-partition and format the drive. I am also running Win XP Pro on another drive, and can boot from either. The computer is older, but all the hardware seemed to work fine with Ubuntu and altough I had to format the install drive a couple times the installation seemed to go ok.

After installing FC15 on my computer, I cannot boot on my windows7 due to an error 18. I installed FC on 2 new partitions I created during the installation, so I guess they moved before my window's.Is there a solution to fix this without erasing my windows partition? (at worse, I'm ok with deleting my linux partitions for I haven't done anything with it yet).
View 5 Replies View RelatedI installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop. Thereafter, I installed Fedora 12 on another partition. Now when I boot, my bootloader lets me select Fedora 12 or Ubuntu, kind of. When I select Ubuntu I get ERROR 13. Now... when I installed Fedora 12, I selected Ubuntu (or I thought) as another OS. Guess I messed up.
I need to know how I would fix this problem. I know it has something to do with GRUB, either its' conf file or the menu list, but I really don't know how to make the changes.
I just upgraded to F15 and it went well. But at the next and each subsequent cold boot the BIOS reports "Your system last boot fail or post interrupted Please enter setup to load default and reboot". The board is an asus P5N-D. I press F1 to blow past the error and all is well until the next cold boot. Restarts are fine, no errors at all.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've got a dual-booting system with Windows 7 and Opensuse 11.2. I had a few other random kernels so I edited /boot/grub/menu.lst to remove them. This was fine after a reboot, then I went to YaST and changed the default boot partition to Windows, because I had edited the MBR and put Windows above the other boot partitions, YaST changed "default" to 0.
Now after a restart the Boot Loader doesn't appear, I just have a flashing cursor. When I try to boot from an OpenSuse installation disc and try repair the Repair Kernel loads but freezes on the OpenSuse splash screen. I've heard this is due to the fact I have an ATI Radeon card, if I hold shift during the CD load to prevent the graphical interface of the CD loading. I can type to boot "rescue" but it freezes on "starting udev...". Essentially I just need to be able to edit menu.lst back to the backup I made or change the "default" value back to 1.
