Hi all,
I´m having problems with FC 3. I'm trying use a dual
boot with Windows XP. My PC has 3 hard drives
configured
primary master -> Windows XP (10 Gb)
primary slave -> Creative
secondary master -> Windows XP (30 Gb)
secondary slave -> to be used by Fedora (40 Gb)
First, I try install FC3 and the bug message was
showed
Assertion (heads > 0) at disk_dos.c:485 in function
probe_partition_for_geom() failed
So I try fix this using the rescue disk and typed in
prompt:
sfdisk -d /dev/hdd | sfdisk --no-reread -H255
/dev/hdd
I tryed again install FC3, and the same error
happened.
After, I used
http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/fc3-part-upd.img
Put it in a floppy disk with rawrite, used the FC3
disc 1, and typed in prompt:
linux updates
This time the error message was gone and the
installation was successful.
I can boot using Windows XP normally. However, when
I try boot with FC3, my machine freeze up and this
message is showed
Booting 'Fedora Core (2.6.9-1.667)'
root (hd2,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667 ro
root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
[linux -bzImage, setup=0x1400, size=0x155da5]
initrd /initrd_2.6.9-1.667.img
[Linux-initrd @ 0x1fefe000, 0xed559 bytes]
Is there some way to fix the dual boot? Or, at
least, to use the FC3?
Thanks in advance for any answer.
Cheers,
Alex
