Ubuntu :: Grub Not Showing Fedora Partition?
Dec 5, 2010Why is Grub2 not displaying Fedora partition??I know fedora uses Grub legacy,whereas Lucid uses Grub2 and therefore i installed fedora 14 WITHOUT boot loader.

Ubuntu :: Fedora Not Showing A Grub Menu
Jan 12, 2011I have a computer that only runs ubuntu and have decided to put fedora on. I put fedora on the computer and made a new partition for it. When I turn the computer on, it logs straight into fedora not even showing me a grub menu. Is there some way that I can update grub so that it knows that ubuntu is also installed

Jun 26, 2009I installed fedora about a week back, and when I first started it, it told me that it had a kernel failure, and showed me a notification on the right hand bottom corner and asked me if I wanted to submit the report.
Recently, I started noticing that GRUB shows 2 fedoras and Other (which is XP)
This is what GRUB shows me:
Fedora(2.6.29.5-191.f11.x86_64)
Fedora(2.6.29.4-167.f11.x86_64)

Just now, it didnt boot into fedora saying it failed loading something, and I ran fsck, it showed 2 errors and fixed them , then I was able to get into fedora.
Fedora Installation :: Windows Not Showing Up In Grub Loader?
Mar 20, 2011I installed Fedora 14 alongside windows, overwriting my old Ubuntu 10 partition. Unfortunately, now the GRUB loader only recognizes my Fedora partition and the built-in windows recovery utility partition. I checked the disc utility and my windows partition still definitely exists, I just can't seem to boot into it.

Fedora :: Change Boot Partition With Grub?
Feb 24, 2010I have fedora 12 installed on a laptop with an LVM partition, /dev/hda5 logiacal partion in the /dev/hda4 one, a boot partition on /dev/hda3 and a FAT on /dev/hda2 for win data. There was also a 10GB free partion left from older works on /dev/hda1. Now the /boot partition was set to only 0,2GB and this conflicts with the kernel updates. I freed the 10GB section, formatted it to ext 4 and copied all stuff from the /boot sector on it. now the old /boot is mounted in the grub.conf on a UUID and not the /dev/hda3 as it comes up on fdisk.
I would now like to swith the boot from the small /dev/hda1 partiotn to the larger /dev/hda3 one, but don't know how to manage it with grub (fedora, i understand it's grub-legacy).

Fedora :: Fix Grub /boot Is On A Standalone Partition

Mar 4, 2010Maybe some experts have a deeper knowledge what's going on? Seems GNU GRUB version 0.97 is corrupting ntfs partition if installed on it on my 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.x86_64
[Code]...
How I have achieved this: Upgraded (in fact installed on the same partition without reformatting) W7 32 (RC-7100) to W7 64 enterprise. It has nuked grub (used to boot FC-12) and silently removed a small boot (or windows backup) partition so ntfs became sda3 instead of sda4. Booting from fedora dvd causes the sequence listed above.
The main problem here is that grub doesn't boot windows: there was "unknown filesystem" error. After fixing boot record with "testdisk" I get: "booting windows in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ... booting windows in 3 ... 2.. forever" If I use W7 repair disk it fixes windows and nukes grub away (ntfs partition has to be active for that otherwise the smart soft can't find it). So, making sda1 active and placing grub there is not an option...
Fedora Installation :: Will 13 Allow To Install Grub In Its Own Partition Without Writing Over The MBR
May 23, 2010My laptop came with a hidden partition for restoring Vista instead of an install disk. I installed Ubuntu 9.04, which had an "Advanced" option that allowed me to install grub in the Ubuntu partition without writing over the MBR. Then I used EasyBCD to add Ubuntu to the Vista boot loader. I wanted to do this so that I can still restore the factory copy of Vista from the hidden partition if I need to. I upgraded the Ubuntu to 9.10, still using grub. When I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 it went to grub2, and I haven't figured out how to boot into it with EasyBCD yet.But I would like to try Fedora anyway. I will wait a couple of days and get 13.
1. Which grub does Fedora 13 use?
2. Will Fedora 13 allow me to install grub in its own partition without writing over the MBR?

Ubuntu :: Grub Not Showing Windows 7?
Feb 11, 2010I was foolishly messing around with Grub trying to get it so it only show my two most recent kernel versions of Ubuntu and Windows 7. The tutorials on how to do this were not clear, so I deemed it not a big deal and ultimately didn't end up making any changes. However when I restarted to boot into Windows 7 it was gone for Grub's boot list. I looked at the grub.cfg file and in it under os-prober, where i'm assuming Windows 7 should be there was only Vista (which wouldn't boot when I tried it, just a black screen). I had upgraded from Vista over the internet when Windows 7 first came out, then installed Ubuntu and it worked fine until this. I am using 64-bit Ubuntu 9.10, and have Grub 1.97 beta~4 installed, which was installed with Ubunutu.

Ubuntu :: Windows 7 Not Showing In Grub?
Oct 21, 2010I Currently am running Ubuntu 10.10 on a hard drive with three partitions. One with Ubuntu, a Media partition (Music, Videos, pictures, etc.) and the last is my Windows 7 installation. I can acess all of these partitions in nautilus as well. However when I start up my computer it automaticly loads into Ubuntu and when I manage to see Grub I only see 3 Entries Which are the Ubuntu kernel, Ubuntu recovery Kernal and memtest86+. How do I make Grub recognise my Windows 7 Installation?

View 9 Replies View RelatedFedora Installation :: GRUB/LILO: Getting The Location Of The Boot Partition?
Feb 13, 2009I somehow recalled a rule re the location of the boot partitions with LILO being required to be in the first part of the drive (1024 cylinders, it seems) and I found it indeed in an old doc:
Boot Partition: Your boot partition ought to be a primary partition, not a logical partition. This will ease recovery in case of disaster, but it is not technically necessary. It must be of type 0x83 "Linux native". If you are using lilo, your boot partition must be contained within the first 1024 cylinders of the drive. (Typically, the boot partition need only contain the kernel image.) Is this still valid in GRUB, esp in Fedora 10?
Fedora :: Install Grub To A Partition And Link It To A Separate /boot?

Jun 4, 2010I dualboot Ubuntu and Fedora in one hard drive. Below are the scenario.
First, installed Ubuntu 10.4 on the entire disk (40GiB of size). Then, shrink the Ubuntu installation to equal size to free up space for fedora.
Second, installed Fedora 13 using the option "Use free space on selected drives and create default layout". After the successful installation fdisk -l shows,
Code:
# fdisk -l

Fedora :: Grub Error 22 After Deleting Partition On Vista Machine?
Mar 21, 2010I'm a CS Major that wanted to experiment with Linux more. Great idea right?! Well, long story short, I have a HP Dv9815nr Entertainment Notebook PC with Vista pre-installed. I have 2 local SATA HDDs and installed Vista(250GB) and Fedora 12(160GB)(respectively). In order to make life simple for booting purposes, I partitioned the Vista drive to include a 3GB sector for the Fedora Boot partition, so that Grub would run properly.
I recently discovered Sun's VirtualBox (Open Source Virtualization software) and installed several flavors of linux inside of this application on the Vista Disk. Naturally, I installed Fedora 12 in the Virtual Box and reformatted the Linux drive (160GB + 3GB Boot partition).
Everything was fine and then I rebooted. Now I get a Grub error on boot. "Error 22 : partition not found". I would like to restore the Vista MBR using the Fedora 12 Live cd, but I can't repartition the Vista drive under the live installation.
Also, I extended the Vista partition to include the 3GB previously used for the Fedora Boot Sector.
Ubuntu :: Grub - Lost My Windows Partition - Can't Find Menu.lst In /boot/grub
Nov 1, 2010I got ubuntu 10.04 lucid lynx along with windows (dual boot) and using Grub. On my computer, I have my C:/ (programs) and D:/ (data). I've never used my D:/ before that day that I've lost my windows partition on my grub menu. I usually use my D:/ with windows. The first time I used my D:/ to store data with linux, I lost my windows option in my grub menu. I'm not sure what I did wrong but I do want to restore my windows option in my grub menu.
After "fdisk -l",
I checked in /boot/grub and there is no menu.lst to modify. how I can get back my windows option in my grub menu ?
Ubuntu :: GRUB Menu Showing Every Boot Up
Apr 28, 2010I am working with a acer netbook that I originally had WinXP installed on. I downloaded Ubuntu 9.10, transferred the iso contents to a bootable USB drive and installed Ubuntu. I remember during the setup process that I made sure I chose the option to install on one partition. There is only one partition on my netbook with a small second partition as a swap.
After the installation process and reboot I noticed the grub menu would pop up every boot up giving the list of operating systems of which XP was included. I then ran the update manager and updated 9.10 with all updates. After rebooting the grub menu again showed but the option to choose XP was now gone.
Now everytime I boot up the grub menu shows. How can I modify grub so it will automatically just boot to the OS.

View 6 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: GRUB Menu Is Showing Two OS's ?
Sep 12, 2010I have dual-booted Windows XP and Ubuntu. Because Ubuntu 10.04 doesn't have the required proprietary drivers for my system, I chose Ubuntu 8.04. The installation procedure went well, the drivers are there, everything's perfect but... there's a problem with the GRUB menu that appears just after launching my laptop.
When I first installed Ubuntu it showed Ubuntu (and some letters and numbers), another instance for recovery mode, some memory test lines (I guess there are two of them) and Windows XP.
But after I used the software updater in Ubuntu (to make it up-to-date), the grub bootloader shows two more lines - and those are the same as the first two - Ubuntu (with some letters and symbols) and Ubuntu recovery mode.
Why are those duplicates there? I've never installed another Ubuntu OS on my PC. Because at the moment I have two Ubuntu and two Ubuntu recovery mode lines .
