I successfully installed Fedora 11 from the DVD iso. At the end, the installation program prompts me to reboot the system. But when the boot loader appears after rebooting, there are only the old entries.
I have 2 IDE disks and one sata disk. The first IDE disk is hd0, the second IDE is hd1. The SATA disk is hd2. In the setup, I selected hd0 to install grub. Fedora 11 was installed on the SATA disk (hd2).[edit] I forgot to say, that Fedora 10 is on /dev/sda and Fedora 9 on /dev/sdb
I just installed archlinux to try it out and need to add the entry to Grub.
I formated the hard drive with the a root partition for arch of 42Gb and ubuntu can see it perfeclty.
When I was installing arch I made a mistake and installed grub again, overwriting my previous grub with my ubuntu and windows entries.
So I fixed and got my working grub back with SuperGrubDisk, but now I want to add the ARCHLINUX entry to Grub and dont know how. I have added the previous entries from the grub that ARCH installed and moved the initrd and vmlinuz files to the /boot directory on ubuntu, but it doesnt work. I did a similar thing with Acronis True Image rescue cds(to avoid having to insert the cd in order to use it) and it worked like a charm, but I am lost in this one.
Here are my partitions, sdb is the one where all my partitions and files are (sdb5 is where ARCH is), the other 2 are backups:
Quote:
Disk /dev/sda: 2000.4 GB, 2000398934016 bytes

I have a pc where there was redhat installed, and I decided to put ubuntu in dual boot.The installation went ok, but now I can't log in with redhat anymore. RH was installed on a RAID partition, and I installed ubuntu on an additional HD.
Now I have two problems:
a) I cannot boot red hat, since there is no such entry in the grub
b) this machine had several users, that now cannot access it remotely anymore.
Below you can find the output of fdisk -l and the grub.cfg files, the old red hat one, and the new one created by ubuntu. Not that in any case I cannot reinstall redhat, since there are other people using the machine.

I was cleaning old kernels from Grub menu, all sorted except for a vista entry that i could not delete. Ran this line which I found,"sudo chmod -x /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober", to remove unwanted entries, now only the linux entry left in Grub menu, windows 7 entry gone. The vista entry was from an old install which is not there anymore. Running 10.10 at the moment which is dualbooted with win7.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have installed ubuntu 9.10 and everything was working fine. Just a minutes ago a window popped up telling me that a complete update couldn't be completed, and asked me to go on with a partial update. I did it and then a window popped up (I think it was debconf running) asking me if I wanted to delete phpmyadmin database configuration or if I wanted to keep it... seemed like the updater was removing quite a bunch of packages!
After that I was presented with a long list of packages to be removed (among them apache2, php5, linux headers, etc.) I thought it was going to remove them in order to reinstall them latter, so I let it go) but now there's no ubuntu entry in the grub menu, so I had to boot with windows! Right now I'm downloading ubuntu 9.10 livecd to give it a try...
My problem is this, I decided to try Pardus since I had the disk space available and learned that it never created a entry for Ubuntu 9.10 64-Bit. I have tried many different boot options and have only gotten it to show the first black and white bootsplash but never can continue to boot. Is there a option I am forgetting to add via Pardus's GRUB editor or is it something else?

I am running ubuntu 10.04 on an emac powerpc. I go to the update manager and click on 'Update to Ubuntu 10.10', and then it starts the update and everything goes well until step 2 which is setting new software channels. It displays the error message:

Is it possible to remove the entry 'Other operating systems' from the Grub menu display? I mean that it can be commented in menu.lst,but will it affect other OS(Win XP in my case) in any way?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI currently dual boot and wish to know how to remove the Windows partition/drive while still allowing Ubuntu 9.04 to load safely as my main OS. I know how to restore windows partition by;
If MBR gets damaged boot from MS Windows Xp disc, Select "R" for "recovery console", select main windows installation drive (admin password usually nothing, just press enter) and type "FIXMBR" this will allow you to boot windows again, but Ubuntu partition will be unbootable and require installing ubuntu again to dual boot.
But this leaves Ubuntu partition Un-bootable as it removes the grub menu, how would I do the same for Ubuntu and make window partition un-bootable so I can remove it?
Ubuntu's update manager recently updated the Grub menu.lst file. It let me decide if I wanted to keep my old menu.lst or the new one. After deciding that I was fine with the new one, I found out that I can no longer boot into Windows 7. I had previously edited menu.lst so that Windows would be at the top of the list, however, I didn't notice that this had put it into the automagic update area, and I realize now that I should have just edited what the default number was instead of moving around the entries.
Anyways, I can no longer access my Windows 7 OS via Grub, and I was wondering what sort of fix I can have for this. I've tried running update-grub, but it hasn't fixed the problem. The Windows bootloader is on the first partition of the only hard drive, as far as I can remember.
I followed the instructions from this post to reorder my boot options. But somehow I was stupid enough not to copy the windows entry, as indicated (I was mainly following only terminal instructions and such).Now I have a grub menu without my Windows 7 entry, please tell me there is a way to restore it.

View 10 Replies View RelatedFor some time I have been using Clonezilla to backup/restore linux installations. I would like - instead to USB-key that is always not to be found, to somehow "move" the clonezilla (on a USB stick). What I have tried to is to make a separate partition to install this on, copied all the files on the USB -key to that partition, and then make a new entry in GRUB via yast. Then I point to the new wmlinus and initramfs. I would have been much surprised if something link this was working after first shot. But it was also not working after the 80. shot.

The last prompt was to specify if you want to be able to boot 3 different OS's using grub. I answered yes (I have Win7, Ubuntu and now wanted to install Debian for testing purposes).

I am using preupgrade to update Fedora 9 -> Fedora 12 following these steps: -
Code:
yum -y update
yum clean all
yum install preupgrade
preupgrade-cli
preupgrade-cli "<FEDORA VERSION>"
reboot
I successfully upgraded this box from Fedora 6 => Fedora 9 and I guess I got too confident when this worked without a hitch and went straight from Fedora 9 => Fedora 12. Everything works up until the very end of the upgrade process when I get this error.
Code:
