Hello,
I just installed FC9 alongside Debian. During the installation I did not
update grub and chose not to install grub. I have done this before. I
just change Debian's grub to put in the relevant stanzas for my FC
kernel (was FC8 till today).
Here is my relevant stanza now in my Debian's grub's menu.lst:
title Fedora 9, kernel 2.6.25-14.fc9.i686
root (hd0,12)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.25-14.fc9.i686 ro
root=UUID=3cfc63bf-9e84-49a3-90ad-3fa623141200 rhgb quiet vga=792 selinux=0
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.25-14.fc9.i686.img
savedefault
FC9's / partition is /dev/sda13 and its home is /dev/sda14 (swap is
/dev/sda12).
Its /etc/fstab is:
UUID=3cfc63bf-9e84-49a3-90ad-3fa623141200 / ext3 defaults 1 1
UUID=4d049c49-6b8a-4cc6-9e42-87c1526094ad /home ext3 defaults 1 2
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
UUID=f6df95d2-3f58-41f7-b906-a0f01c61f401 swap swap defaults 0 0
If select FC9's kernel, it reports something about bad file descriptor
and doesn't boot.
The contents of /dev/sda13/boot are:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 86348 2008-05-01 06:34 config-2.6.25-14.fc9.i686
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2008-10-12 20:01 efi
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-04-07 13:32 grub
-rw------- 1 root root 2700907 2008-10-12 20:07
initrd-2.6.25-14.fc9.i686.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 892575 2008-05-01 06:34
System.map-2.6.25-14.fc9.i686
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2088288 2008-05-01 06:34 vmlinuz-2.6.25-14.fc9.i686
BTW, this is the first time I seeing executable permissions in vmlinux.
Any idea what I need to fix? This sytem worked with fc8, don't know what
I did wrong today with fc9 installation.
Regards.
