Software :: How To Install Only Grub And MBR On RedHat
Apr 4, 2011
I currently have a dual boot machine.
Windows XP on C:
Redhat Linux is on a second drive.
MBR and /boot with grub are on the C: drive.
I spent a lot of time installing and configuring the Linux applications on the secondary drive. This machine is rather slow. I'd like to remove the second drive with apps on Linux and put it into a different faster machine. Ideally, make it another dual boot machine. So far, with the Redhat install program, I can only see installing the whole operating system, which would wipe out everything. Is is possible to install just the MBR and grub alone?

While attempting to make my secondary hard drive accessible I managed to screw up me RedHat installation.
When I boot I get: Error loading operating system
I can use the PCs boot menu to select the "2. Primary Master Drive" instead of "1. Normal" and (Unix) grub comes up.
Can I use grub to recover my Redhat install?

I have a redhat 4 on a Hp Proliant server. I did a restart of the server. Now it is not getting to the grub menu. It shows:
Attempting boot from hard drive (C
GRUB GRUB
and it hang there.
I know it has something to do with some controller stuff and I could not figure it out. It used to be working till I reboot.

I'm running Karmic Server with GRUB2 on a Dell XPS 420. Everything was running fine until I changed 2 BIOS settings in an attempt to make my Virtual Box guests run faster. I turned on SpeedStep and Virtualization, rebooted, and I was slapped in the face with a grub error 15. I can't, in my wildest dreams, imagine how these two settings could cause a problem for GRUB, but they have. To make matters worse, I've set my server up to use Luks encrypted LVMs on soft-RAID. From what I can gather, it seems my only hope is to reinstall GRUB. So, I've tried to follow the Live CD instructions outlined in the following article (adding the necessary steps to mount my RAID volumes and LVMs). [URL]
If I try mounting the root lvm as 'dev/vg-root' on /mnt and the boot partition as 'dev/md0' on /mnt/boot, when I try to run the command $sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/md0, I get an errors: grub-setup: warn: Attempting to install GRUB to a partition instead of the MBR. This is a BAD idea. grub-setup: error: Embedding is not possible, but this is required when the root device is on a RAID array or LVM volume.
Somewhere in my troubleshooting, I also tried mounting the root lvm as 'dev/mapper/vg-root'. This results in the grub-install error: $sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/md0 Invalid device 'dev/md0'
Obviously, neither case fixes the problem. I've been searching and troubleshooting for several hours this evening, and I must have my system operational by Monday morning. That means if I don't have a solution by pretty early tomorrow morning...I'm screwed. A full rebuild will by my only option.

I had Windows XP working. I then put in a new hard disk and installed Redhat 5 on it. rom then i could only boot into Redhat. Further, everyting is very slow. Anothe rproblem is that Redhat does not see my netwrok so I cannot get onto the Internet. I need to have the choice of booting into XP or Redhat.
