Fedora 17 Grub Woes

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – I did a fresh intall of Fedora17 64bit on a dual boot system with vista. The installation was fine. Grub boot menu takes unusally long time to showup. Re installed Fedora 16 64 bit, the grub bootmenu showed up fast. Probalby grub2 is the culprit after the installation of Fedora17. So tried upgrade from Fedora 16 to 17 without boot configuration update option during the installation. But the grub boot menu now had only the windows entry.

Stories similar to Fedora 17 Grub Woes

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.

Installed Fedora 16 x86_64 LXDE a few months ago.

Before installation I resized my C:-partition from inside of Windows so I could get some free space to install Fedora on (so I would be able to dual-boot with Fedora and Windows Vista). The installation went fine and Fedora is usable and all BUT I am not able to boot Windows Vista anymore!

I just switched from Fedora 16 to 18 (not an upgrade but a clean install). Previously in Fedora 16, I had no problems doing a Fedora 16 and Windows 7 dual boot in EFI mode. Grub Legacy (EFI version) worked perfectly. Now with Grub2 (EFI) there seems to be no working chainloader command.

I can still boot Windows if I go into the BIOS boot menu and select it.

Fedora 12 install fails 3 years 26 weeks ago

I have Vista on the first disk drive. I use the second drive for Fedora. The automated update destroyed my Fedora 10 installation while trying to update to Fedora 12 - possibly because of GRUB issues. Now I am trying to install Fedcora 12 from the x86_64 ISO.

UEFI and Dual Boot 33 weeks 4 days ago

Hi, I got Fedora 17 installed on my PC, using UEFI boot system. So there is Windows too on this computer. And I want to add Archlinux on this. I want to know just one thing : When Fedora is upgrading, it does an operation on some grub file (because I got now 2 entries for Fedora in my grub menu). Which is this operation ? grub2-mkconfig ?

I have a system with two disks . On a second disk I have Fedora17, Ubuntu, and Mint14 On the first drive I have Debian and Fedora18.

Hi guys,

I have a dual-boot machine, with Vista and Fedora 11, which is working great. I use GRUB as the boot manager, as Fedora was installed after Vista. So far, so good..

Grub2 boots into CLI mode. 35 weeks 2 days ago

I just did a complete reinstall of my laptop installing fedora 17 and windows 7.

I installed Win7 after fedora 17, so i had to boot the live cd, chroot into my fedora install and reinstall grub.

I had fedora 18 and then I installed windows 8 afterwards. I now cant boot into fedora because grub was replaced by the windows bootloader. I created a f18 live cd and opened a terminal.
