http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Hello I have intalled Linux Mint and Fedora on the same hdd on differente partitions. On /dev/sda is installed Linux Mint grub2. Fedora is installed on /dev/sda6 When computer run only Linux Mint is avalible. Mint´s grub doesnot detect Fedora. In Mint I try Code: grub-update and it detect Linux Mint, Windows 8, but doestnot detect Fedora 17. But I know Fedora is there, because I can load it by SGD2. I dont want to intall grub from Fedora, I prefer to keep Mint´s grub but want to add Fedora 17 to grub, but dont know how. Any advice please? (HowTos)

Dua boot Fedora 16 and Mint 12 51 weeks 18 hours ago

Hi,

I want to dual boot Fedora 16 32 bit and Mint 12 32 bit. I have created 3 primary partitions, one for swap, one for Fedora 16 and one for Mint 12. I installed Fedora to sda1 and its Grub to the MBR. Then I installed Mint to sda3 and its Grub to sda3. Now when the pc boots, it does not show Mint on the boot menu and it only shows Fedora, why so? I think Mint 12 also uses Grub2, right?

Hi I'm brand new to Fedora

I started to install Fedora thinking I was just going to place it in the / and /home partitions I already have but the installer only seems to give me the option to use the whole disk.

I have 3 / and 3 /home partitions 2 of each are occupied by Linux Mint and Mint KDE so I wanted to use the last / and /home for Fedora.

Grub issues 25 weeks 3 days ago

I have Windows 7 and Linux Mint 13 installed and works fine with grub. I've installed Fedora 17 but I can't get grub to recognise Fedora 17.

Would appreciate any suggestion to overcome this problem.

:doh:

This never happened before. I always dual boot Ubuntu and Fedora and use Grub from Ubuntu. I have just installed Ubuntu 12.04 amd_64. Grub menu does not detect nor list Fedora installation. Fedora 17 grub is installed to its own / partition. Earlier, I had installed Fedora 17 and its Grub to the HD and then went on to install Ubuntu 12.04 and let the installation replace Fedora Grub...

Unusual OS entry in GRUB 1 year 6 days ago

Alright, so totally new to Linux. Was working as support for windows support, then got transferred to cloud support where I needed to learn linux, and I'd say it's one of the best things that has happened to me. I freaking love linux, but only been working with linux for less than 3 weeks.

Alright so got that out of the way.

Fedora 10 CANNIBALIZES GRUB. 3 years 18 weeks ago

Before I start, I would like to say I already got it fixed myself, and this is more of a why the hell kind of post. I have used Linux for three years, and have had four unrelated incidents under different types of Fedora of this type, so I thought it was time to take it to the forum. I will explain what happened most recently.

I use four partitions on my machine: first and second for different Linux systems, third for data and fourth for swap. On the first partition I installed Mint. By default it used GRUB installed on /dev/sda. Then I installed Slackware on the second partition. I decided to put LILO on /dev/sda. In result I lost access to GRUB and Mint.

I was running two separate partitions of Linux (Ubuntu and Linux Mint) and Windows XP when I deleted my Ubuntu partition through Easus partition manager on XP due to simple stupidity. This erased my Grub bootloader, but I managed to install Grub Legacy from my Linux Mint Live CD.

Hello,

I installed openSUSE 11.3 on a computer with Mint. openSUSE opens but there's not Mint on Grub.

I'm kind of confused with Grub.
