Is your machine somehow booting from hdb instead of hda? Can you attach the contents of /boot/grub/device.map? Here it is the content of that file: # this device map was generated by anaconda (fd0) /dev/fd0 (hd0) /dev/hda I don't think the machine is somehow booting from hdb because WinXP is on hda and is booting fine. Ok, the problem it is fixed, here it is the whole discussion: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=107400816000003&r=1&w=2 I dunno if I have to close the BUG report because the problem is fixed (I can boot the machine) but a problem is still present, the disks are switched. |
Description of problem: I installed fc1 but when I boot the machine I can only boot windowsXp, there is no sign of grub ( I installed it the MBR) Info: Command (m for help): Disk /dev/hda: 41.1 GB, 41110142976 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4998 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 15 3738 29912998+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda2 * 1 14 112423+ 83 Linux /dev/hda3 3739 4997 10112917+ 83 Linux Partition table entries are not in disk order Command (m for help): Disk /dev/hdb: 8455 MB, 8455200768 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1027 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdb1 * 1 897 7205121 b Win95 FAT32 /dev/hdb2 898 1027 1044225 82 Linux swap Ed il grub.conf: # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. # root (hd0,1) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda3 # initrd /initrd-version.img boot=/dev/hda default=1 timeout=10 splashimage=(hd0,1)/grub/splash.xpm.gz title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-8) root (hd0,1) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 ro root=LABEL=/ initrd /initrd-2.4.20-8.img title DOS rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 Boot the machine with the linux cd and perform the following steps doesn't solve the problem: #chroot /mnt/sysimage #grub-install /dev/hda Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Just install grub on the MBR Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: I can only boot windowsXP Expected results: I expected to have a dual boot machine (XP and Fedora) Additional info:
