I have done some more testing and there is reason to think this my be a hardware problem. smartctl -l error -d ata /dev/sda is not clean please close as will reopen if problem occurs on other hardware |
Description of problem: after installing fc11 preview I created a grub boot disk and changed the hard drive to be a slave then edited grub.conf on the boot disk so (hd0,0) is (hd1,0) however the system wont boot and hangs just as the colored bar at the bottom displays. This procedure works with fc10 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fc11 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. install fc11 2. modprobe floppy (for some reason no /dev/fd0) 3. note also no /dev/fd0u1440 so had to fdformat on another system 4. mke2fs, mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /dev/floppy 5. grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/floppy '(fd0)' 6. cp /boot/grub/grub.conf /mnt/floppy/boot/grub/grub.conf 7. vim /mnt/floppy/boot/grub/grub.conf change hd0 to hd1 on the floppy and make master drive a slave and connect new master This allows me to dual boot without affecting mbr of master and without fc11 even being aware of other drive during install as it is not connected. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
