Red Hat / Fedora :: Grub Pointing To Wrong Kernel
Aug 7, 2010
My distro is ClearOS, which is RHEL so I assume this is the right place.I moved my sytem from an old PATA-drive to a bigger SATA. ClearOS uses LVM for the root directory and the swap directory, so this VolumeGroup was moved using lv-commands. I left the old hda drive in for the time being and hda also remained the BIOS start up disk. /boot is at hda2.Now, clearly there are 2 VolGroup00/ LogVol00 's: on hda and sda.
Eventually I wanted to unload my hda. I copied /boot from the hda disk to sda, changed (hd0,1) to (hd0,0) as /boot is in different locations, later found out that I needed to do the same for the location of the splash image and did that as well, but I don't get access to my new VolGroup.I did an /sbin/mkinitrd and a grub-install on the new sda but no luck. I have seen various error messages. The latter one is that grub loader 1.5 is active, giving me a grub prompt.

I am very new to linux and just need a bit of help figuring this one out. I installed ImageMagick the first time using yum, then I used an alternative method. It's installed properly the second time and almost does what I want except that when I type 'convert' in the prompt it gives me '-bash: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory'
The actual location of convert is /usr/local/bin/convert How do I change it so the convert command is pointing to the right executable?

For some reason, my Slackware 13.0 system has multiple problems.
When I do ldd /usr/bin/X | grep libpixman
I show a libpixman which is NOT in /usr/lib.

I recently installed Linux Mint and went through the whole business, but when I go to my DNS's it just goes to my FIOS login.
dns:
foxwebhosting.dyndns.org
foxwebhosting2.dyndns.org
I tried everything in mind, but I think the big issue has to do with the reason why it's picking up the FIOS login and not even the index of my server.

It points to the old Fedora kernel, and needs to be directed to the pre-installed kernel. What will the new menu entry be after it loads?

I'm not exactly new to the linux world. I've been messing with it for six months now. I recently decided to host a public web server out of my home. The is nothing business related merely personal.Now that you have a brief background I will bring you the technical details.I'm apache2 with php, joomla, and mySQL on openSUSE 11.2. a dns server is currently configured. My problem is as follows I set up apache initially and used the default index.html page which simply says It Works. I configured my DNS at the domain registar godaddy.com. After changing the A record to point to my IP the server worked. I then proceeded to install Joomla which installed correctly.Now here is my problem. When I attempt to pull up my domain it appears my DNS is longer working properly and get a DNS error. When I attempt to go directly to IP with my server I still get the initial index.html that says it works. I'm not sure how this is possible and I have cleared all dns info, temp files cookies ect.... I have also had other people test this is as well. I've check my root document pointers for the apache website and they all point to the correct location.
My set up is as follows
Modem
Router
Windows 7 Machine
Sun Microsystems Virtual Box with openSUSE with the network adapter bridged so it can obtain an IP from my router
I'm completely lost at this point and have spent 2 days trying to resolve the issue, any help would be much appreciated. I look forward to everyones reply.

I'm running BackTrack4r2 which is based on Intrepid. I'm pulling my hair out over this problem. As I try to install VMWare Server 2.0 I'm getting stuck at a question the installer poses: Where are the kernel header files located? It would make sense that they're in /usr/src/linux-2.6.35.8 but when I put that it just says there's no subfolder "linux" as expected and to try again. If I use the default location that VMWare says (/lib/modules/2.6.35.8/build/include) I get an error:

I'm really struggling to be able to boot into my Linux partion, so I'm gonna stop just taking stabs in the dark and ask for help.
My drive layout is:
750 GB : (sda)
Data | Linux | Linux Swap
1 TB: (sdb)
Weird Windows 100MB Drive | Windows <--- Primary in BIOS (Booted from)
For all intents and purposes my 1TB is my primary but because of how I plugged them in, that is sdb.
Installed Fedora once, but didn't see the bootloader, realised it was because I had installed it on sda and my BIOS was set to boot off sdb.
Installed Fedora again, this time successfully getting the boot loader, but when choosing Windows I was presented with "BOOTMGR.exe" not found. During bootloader setup I told it sdb1 was my Windows partition..?
Now I've just run a BOOTREC.exe from the recovery console, but obviously kissing goodbye to GRUB in the process.
The issue I have now is I got GRUB wrong twice with a GUI, I don't think I stand much chance doing it text based in a recovery console.

When I installed fedora 11 the other day using the live CD it installed the i586 kernel and not the i686, despite the fact that smolt seems to know that that the hardware is i686 (well, actually it's x86, but I'm not going to argue because I forgot to get that one...). Why would it install the i586 one though? (uname -r 2.6.29.6-213.fc11.i586) But more importantly, are there any specific issues which this version can cause that I should be aware of? I can't really be bothered to change it at the moment if there is no real issue with it but I'm not too sure what difference it makes? Is it slower? It seems to know that I have a quad-core processor and seems to use them fine.

I have a system running openSUSE 11.2 with Desktop and XEN kernel, as well as Windows 7 (not by choice though...). I have noticed a strange time issue, with Windows 7 and the desktop kernel the time is correct (like for example now: 1:32 PM) but in the XEN kernel it is ahead several hours (6:32 PM). If it was an issue between openSUSE and windows then I would think that it is a problem with the system clock but I don't know what would cause a time issue between kernels like that.

I've just installed Fedora (F13) for the first time, on a new HDD, to give myself a dual-boot system. So currently I have:
So, at the appropriate stage in the install menu, there is an option for where to install GRUB, and a drop-down to choose which drive is the primary BIOS boot drive.
However, in both cases, no other drive except my new sdc is visible. So, I can install GRUB to MBR of sdc, or to first sector of boot partition - but no option to put it to my primary boot drive MBR on sda.
Likewise, in the GRUB configuration page, if I go to Add another OS, the only option it gives me is my new Fedora install. It doesn't list the Vista OS on sda at all.
The result is that I can boot to either OS by changing the boot drive priority in BIOS.
I guess my question is this:
- is this expected behaviour from the installer, meaning that I'll need to configure GRUB manually somehow? (gulp ) or
- did I do something wrong in the install process? or
- is this some weird bug manifesting itself?

I downloaded the minimal boot image and installation CDs for F12 i386. On booting either I get the following messages:
Code:
This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU:
cmov
Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU
Looks to me like the installation media for i386 doesn't have an i386 kernel! I'm trying to install to an i586 CPU.

I want to avoid kernel id in Grub entry. I have searched before and one poster (can't find it again) posted a very simple Fedora Grub entry that just pointed to Fedoara's menu.lst. which worked.
For Suse I use:
title openSUSE 11.1 (on /dev/sda7) by symlinks
root (hd0,6)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda7 splash=silent showopts vga=0x31a
initrd /boot/initrd
savedefault
boot
I nave tried:
title Fedora
root (hd0,4)
rootnoverify (hd0,4)
chainloader +1
Where Fedora is on sda5 but, doesn't work for some reason.

How do I remove old kernels from the Fedora grub menu? I have three currently and I want to keep only one old version to fall back if I have any problems with the current one. When I was using Ubuntu, I had Ubuntu Tweak which had an option to clean up old kernels from the grub menu .. is there something similar for Fedora?
I'm using Fedora 15 32-bit with Gnome 3.

I'm running Scientific Linux 5.5 (equivalent to CentOS 5.5), and over the past two weeks, I have had a problem with my root partition filling up, preventing anyone from logging into the server.After searching for large files, and finding none, I was mystified when du told me that the root partition had only 660 MB of disk space used, whilst df showed it full. The problem was this: the /var/crash directory had been filled up by an 8GB crash file. Now, I'm a 'proper' sysadmin and make sure that /var has its own mount point, so the crash should not have touched the root partition at all. Except it did - instead of writing to /var/crash on /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol04 which is mounted as /var, it wrote the file to /dev/md0 directly, so when all the file systems were mounted, those files were hidden under the mounted /var.

With kernel 2.6.35 I get wrong readings on lm_sensors. They are about 20C off than the real values (e.g. if the CPU is at 50C, lm_sensors will show 70C). If I boot with any other kernel (like 2.6.32) I get the correct values. I'm using the 'coretemp' module on an Acer 7720 laptop. My distro is 64-bit Arch Linux.

I just installed Slackware 13.1 x86 on a new laptop (you probably remember me from my audio post). I am having one other issue. My root file system is formatted as EXT4. When my computer boots, it tries to mount it as EXT3 then EXT2, fails both types and then tries EXT4. Here are the messages.
Code:
EXT3-fs (sda2): error: couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features (240)
EXT2-fs (sda2): error: couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features (240)
EXT4-fs (sda2): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode
So, eventually / is mounted correctly, but I think this is slowing down my boot time. Does anyone know how to fix this.

A while ago I moved partitions from sda1 to sda6 because the original partition wasnt big enough. So when I update grub (now grub 2) it resets everything to sda1 and I've no idea how its doing it. Does anyone know where grub 2 gets the default partition from or does it just select sda1 automatically?

I have two versions of Ubuntu on my computer - 10.04 and an earlier one that i no longer use. I'd like to free up the space that the old partition is taking, but the computer boots from the grub menu.lst of that old version. How can I make the boot process use the menu.lst in the 10.04 partition?
where is the boot process situated anyway and how can you get at it?

I have two HDs and recently reinstalled Ubuntu.
However, I think grub may have installed to my media drive and not my main HD.
Here is the output of fdisk -l:
Code:
dev/sda1 is my media drive and I think during setup grub-install may have been automatically run on /dev/sda1. If this is the case,
1) How can I remove grub from sda1 and install it on sdb?
2) Should it be on sdb1 or sdb2?
3) Can I change the naming so my main drive is sda and my media drive is sdb?

My soundcard seems to have problems working with a certain game in windows xp so I decided to create a different installation of windows xp to use with onboard sound drivers instead. I had a backup of my clean current install on a dvd, so thought I would use this to speed up the procedure. I have two hard drives - the sata has my normal windows boot on and my ext4 ubuntu installation. The id drive has only files on. So I decided to shrink the partion on the ide drive using gparted and then create a new primary partition. I then installed my backup to this newly created partition.
At first it did not appear in the boot manager. Then I did a sudo update-grub and it now does, however whichever windows installation I now select from the grub, it always seems to boot into the same (old) installation, rather than the new one I installed from a backup. How I can actually get it to boot into this new installation? It might be due to windows boot ini settings or disc / partition flags or whatever, as I tried fiddling with those.

I have 2 partitions (sda1 & sda3). Both have Ubuntu installed on them. GRUB is using the boot/grub/menu.lst on sda3. How do I get it to use the boot/grub/menu.lst on sda1?

After deleting a ntfs partition, grub is giving me troubles. My fdisk -l gives:
Code:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 3824 30716248+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 3825 121600 946035720 f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sda5 3825 4716 7164958+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
[Code]....
I have one harddrive and a DVD drive. In the bios, the harddrive is mentioned first. So (hd0,5) should point to the /dev/sda6.
BUT when I start my computer, it returns to the grub prompt. The command root gives: (hd0,6).
Why? It should be (hd0,5).
At the grub prompt I enter: root (hd0,5) and configfile /grub/grub.conf and the computer boots fine to fedora.
How can I tell grub use the correct partition?

I am having issues trying to compile the alsa-linuxtant module and I am getting errors about not being able to find some files and the source needing to be reconfigured. Anyway the developers told me to try compiling on a pristine source to see if I could compile that way. When I went looking at kernel.org I did not find a 2.6.32-5 version. So I did some checking and to see just what version I have.
$ uname -r
2.6.32-5-amd64
$ dpkg --list | grep linux-image
ii linux-image-2.6-amd 64 2.6.32+27 Linux 2.6 for 64-bit PCs (meta-package)
ii linux-image-2.6.26-2-amd64 2.6.26-24 Linux 2.6.26 image on AMD64
ii linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64 2.6.32-15 Linux 2.6.32 for 64-bit PCs
So the actual package that is installed is 2.6.32-15 but uname -r reports 2.6.32-5 as the kernel version.

I've recently installed a new graphic card after my old one started to go belly-up and it works nicely in X with twinview. The card have one VGA, one DVI and one HDMI. I have the monitor connected to the VGA and my projector connected to the DVI. However, when I boot the monitor (VGA) don't receive a signal. It is dead until X comes up (and when X comes up it does exactly what I want, it uses the VGA monitor as the main screen).
I had this setup on my old card to and it worked fine. Grub and boot console showed on both screens and I never had to tweak anything to make it do this.
how to enable the VGA outlet, either have boot enabled or only the VGA enabled (either way is fine by me but I really want to see Grub and the boot console on startup).
