Going through LFS 7.3 and about ready to make it bootable but Fedora's grub is giving me issue.
The plan was to share /boot between LFS and Fedora 18 as I have done in the past (been awhile since I ran LFS - LFS 4.something last time). Hell, I've shared /boot between Fedora, CentOS, Ubuntu, and LFS.
I had, several Fedora versions back, set up my dual boot machine where it would always load Windows XP using the Windows bootloader and I used a grub cd to boot Fedora. I was trying to do the same thing when installing Fedora 12 but apparently have forgotten what was required to do this.
I have an old hard disk drive (the ribbon one) that I see using usb has a boot partition but don't see anything else.
So, I thought to try to boot up the the disk (which is running legacy grub) over usb from grub2 to check it out.
But, google has failed me.
I am new to Linux. I recently installed Ubuntu Desktop 11.10 onto my portable hard drive. Much to my surprise, it installed half of GRUB to the PC, and half to the PHDD. The PC does not belong to me. GRUB got removed from the PC, but that's not the issue. I want to be able to boot Ubuntu from my PHDD on any PC.
I have multiple HDDs and one contains Ubuntu, other OSs and GRUB v2(?).
Anyway, I usually select through the BIOS boot menu which HDD I want to boot to and I noticed a problem when booting to my drive with GRUB on it.
When I boot nothing happens. It takes me back to boot menu and no grub is loaded.What boot menu? The boot menu where it says "GRUB 2.00"? That's GRUB. You probably just forgot to generate a grub.cfg, or you should have used "grub-install [...] /dev/sdb" instead of /dev/sda (if Arch is on the second drive).Note: Change /dev/sda to reflect the drive you installed Arch on.
Hi everyone,
I'm having some problems with setting up a dual boot. The setup I have is as followed:
Windows 7 installed on one disk drive (sda)
Ubuntu 12.4 installed on my second disk drive (sdb)
If I boot off the second disk drive I get the grub menu which has the option to boot either ubuntu or windows.
I have a bit of an unusual problem. I've installed lubuntu 12.10 AMD64 on my system, placing / and /boot on an SSD and the rest on a hard disk. Everything except /boot is encrypted. All was well until the SSD started producing I/O errors.
my PC will not boot.I have tried to repair on the start up screen and by YaST with on success. sometimes it says device.map is wrong.
/boot/grub/device.map:
