What kind of drive does your computer have (e.g. is it a SATA drive?)? There have been cases where some SATA drives have not been working properly with grub... <div>On 3/25/06, Dan Thurman <<a href="mailto:dant@cdkkt.com">dant@cdkkt.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Folks, I have done this many times, but for some reason I am just having a bad-hair day or something :-( I am trying install FC5 as a multi-boot partition and I have done this many times before, although it has not always been easy in previous releases I have done, but I was able to to get it working from FC1 through FC4 and FC5-T3. In this particular situation, I have installed my /boot partition in /dev/hda3 (hd0,2) and my / partition in /dev/hda7 (hd0,6) and I told anaconda (first time installation) to install grub at /dev/hda7 and when the install completed, and rebooted - grub fails to run. My multi-boot program (system commander) is running but I could not launch fedora from it. Ok, so I whipped out the rescue disc, booted it, and chroot /mnt/sysimage, then looked in /boot and I see that the kernel and the rest of the stuff there including the grub directory. Looking in the grub directory, all the stages are there - minus grub.conf Strange... why is grub.conf missing? Why is the splash.xpm.gz file missing? Ok, I created grub.conf from scratch, the grub.conf file, rebooted and nope this did not work... yes, I used the proper (hd0,6) definitions so that is not the issue. Using the rescue disc again, I went to /boot, and then moved grub to xxxx, then ran grub-install as: grub-install /dev/hda7 It ran... and created a new grub directory with all the stages, minus grub.conf amd splash.xpm.gz files. What is going on? Do I need to get a strong drink or something? Please advise...
