Description of problem: I have a new server with Intel ICH7R chipset, Intel Pentium D and 2x 500Gb S- ATA. I've installed the two discs with software raid partition because if i used the bios raid, formatting the second Raid partition ( i split the drives into two raid partitions ) the installer crashed (even the mouse wouldn't move anymore). Like the docs said the installer didn't install grub on the raid partitions even when i instructed the installer to do so. I downloaded the X86_64 Rescue disc and used the GRUB cli to install grub to the mbr of both discs ( because of the raid1 ). I created a grub.conf to point to the kernel : /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.1955_FC5hypervisor and to initrd : /boot/initrd- 2.6.15-1.1955_FC5hypervisor. When i boot the machine GRUB starts and i select to load the installed kernel. But GRUB returns an error 13 : kernel in unsupported format. Loading the rescue disc and doing a "file" on the kernel says that all is fine and i even can unpack the kernel with gzip. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): FC5 Test3 / kernel 2.6.15-1.1955 / GRUB 0.97 How reproducible: have installed the whole thing 3 times, same result Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install X86_64 on a raid1 partition 2. install grub using rescue disc 3. reboot and try to load kernel Actual results: Error 13: unsupported kernel Expected results: a nice boot Additional info:
Fedora Core 5 and Fedora Core 6 are, as we're sure you've noticed, no longer test releases. We're cleaning up the bug database and making sure important bug reports filed against these test releases don't get lost. It would be helpful if you could test this issue with a released version of Fedora or with the latest development / test release. Thanks for your help and for your patience. [This is a bulk message for all open FC5/FC6 test release bugs. I'm adding myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.]
