Hi, until today I had the following configuration: hda1=windows xp hda5=boot for mandrake hda6=fedora core 1 hda7=swap for fedora hda8=swap for mandrake hda9=mandrake i decided to install core 2 test 1 of fedora over mandrake. so in start installing i place the /boot on hda5 and the / on hda9. i chose to install everything. (enough space :P) and i booted into fedora core2. there i added core 1 to the grub.conf file: default=0 timeout=10 splashimage=(hd0,5)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz title Fedora Core 2 test 1 (2.6.1-1.65) root (hd0,5) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.1-1.65 ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.1-1.65.img title Fedora Core 1 (2.4.22-1.2115.nptl) root (hd0,4) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl ro root=LABEL=/ hdd=ide-scsi rhgb initrd /initrd-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl.img title Windows XP rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 I reboot the pc and core 1 is available in the grub list so i select it. then it starts booting, but it gives a fchk error signal 11 on device with label /mnt/mandrake this is hda9 the one i changed into fedora core 2. it gets me to a command shell, but now i have no idea how to solve the problem. im running core 2 now, but core 1 has everything in it. another problem: core 2 didnt mount any partition, and i want it to mount my partitions automaticly, how?
