RHEL5 Server
After messing about with a vm I need to go into rescue mode and fix the problem I have tried all settings in the CD/DVD window and cannot get a boot prompt Just goes straight to grub I only used the rescue mode on a 'real' host before and had no problem.
I am trying to configure a system to boot Windows XP, CentOS 4 and RHEL5. I have one hard drive that contains both Windows XP and CentOS 4, and a separate drive that contains RHEL5. Until recently, I only had one SATA cable, so I could only connect one drive at a time. Under this configuration, everything works fine. When the RHEL5 drive is connected, I can boot into it. When the Windows/CentOS drive is connected, I can dual-boot into either OS. (GRUB was configured on this drive automatically when I installed CentOS into a new partition.)
Opening the box and moving the SATA cable is a lot of trouble, so I finally got a second SATA cable and enabled both SATA0 and SATA1 in the BIOS. I currently have the Windows/Centos drive as the primary, and I can still boot into both Windows/Centos. Now, I want to add RHEL5 to menu, but I can't find the file GRUB is using to present its menu at startup.
I have configured GRUB before on other systems, but I just know the very basics, such as where the grub.conf file should be. So, I spent a whole day reading advice online and asking friends who might have experience with these issues. Here are the steps I have taken so far:
I confirmed there is no /boot/grub directory, and /etc/grub.conf is a broken soft-link to /boot/grub/grub.conf. I did a find for grub.conf, which found nothing. I did a find for menu.lst, which found one item -- an example GRUB config file in /usr/share/doc/grub-0.95. I noticed that when CentOS boots, I see the GRUB commands printed to the screen, the first of which is:
root (hd0,2)
So, I did a grep -R "(hd0" * at the / directory, which also found only one item -- the example menu.lst file in /usr/share/doc/grub-0.95. I discovered that I can go to the command line grub from the grub menu and do:
cat (hd0,2)/grub/grub.conf
The cat command returns a printout of the grub configuration the system is obviously using. I didn't create this file, but the titles are identical to what I see in the GRUB menu, the default boot is Windows, and the timeout is very short. This must be the file. It looks like:
default=2
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,2)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title CentOS (2.6.9-89.ELsmp)
[Code].....
I've also tried making the RHEL5 drive the primary drive. In that case, I can modify the existing /boot/grub/grub.conf file and see my changes at the GRUB boot menu. However, I can't get Windows to boot in this configuration. I've done a lot of google searching on the topic and added map commands to make Windows think it is on the primary drive. But, I'm still unsuccessful on this front as well. I think I'm closer to solving the problem with Windows/CentOS as the primary. However, if you think I will have more success with RHEL5 as the primary drive, I can provide more details as to my current grub.conf on that drive in a later post.
I made my HP DV6000 into a single boot system. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 64bit. I have been trying every cure I can find on the internet. I can seem to find the problem. My monitor show's everything on the screen as it's booting but then, when it's done, it goes blank and no keys/buttons work. I have it on the GNU GRUB screen right now. (The monitor is working fine (on this screen)

View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to get RHEL5.3 booting on an IBM Blade off a SAN disk, but it refuses.Our storage is presented on LUN 1 as due to the IBM XIV SAN, we cannot use LUN 0 when presenting volumes. We believe that when the installer tries to configure the boot LUN, it expects to see it on LUN 0 but we can't use that. This leads to a problem where after installed Red Hat, it asks me to remove the CD and reboot, but doesn't load anything other than a cursor blinking at me on the monitor.I currently can't change the LUN ID on the SAN, so I've been trying to amend things to get it to work with no joy.

The last program had a "makeinstall" but that wasn't recognised either. I am no a new comer. I have been using Ubuntu for nearly four years and I have only succeeded in installing two programs and that was at least two and a half years ago. Since then I've had no luck whatsoever. Is there anyone out there that can tell me, in simple English, leaving out no steps, how in the h*** I can download and install a tar.gz program?

I'm trying to install MS Windows from my Linux box. Because I have no CD drives nor USB ports, I can't use any live media to boot the computer and install Windows from the installation disk. So I've created a FAT partition and copy DOS files on that, so that I can boot this partition and install Windows from there. But the problem is I still haven't able to get it to boot.
Here's the output of fdisk -l code...
I created the partition by using cfdisk to format it as type 0B: WIN95 FAT32, and made dos filesystem on it using:
Code:
mkfs.msdos /dev/hda1
But when I reboot and select the DOS entry in GRUB, it tells me that:
"This is not a bootable disk. Please insert a bootable floppy and press any key to try again."
what I'm missing or doing wrong here? Do I need to change something on the MBR of hda1 etc...
can any one tell me how i can make my system dual boot ie how can i install Linux with XP on my system.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI am running a dual-boot with Ubuntu (10.10) and Windows 7. Recently I edited my /boot/grub/grub.cfg file to only show one version of Ubuntu (as opposed to several kernel versions) and Windows, simply by commenting out all other menu entries. My question is if I can edit GRUB to just boot a specific entry automatically.
I tried removing all other menu entries, but GRUB still showed the menu with only one entry. I've also considered just setting the timeout to either 0 or 1 second, as this would basically achieve the same thing.

I have a generic monitor which has problems with many Linux distros. We can boos Sugar on a Stick v2 by pressing <tab> at the Sugar splash screen and adding the boot parameter "nomodeset". I'm handy enough to do this, but my wife, well, not so much. So is there a way to make that boot parameter permanent?
