Code: [root@localhost grub]# cat grub.conf # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that #          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.

Hi On my system i have win xp and Fedora 12 installed. My Grub menu used to be 1. Fedora 12 2. Windows Xp As normally i had Fedora and Windows. Now after an update it shows, 1. now it shows:

Code: hiddenmenu title Fedora (2.6.31.6-145.fc12.i686)         root (hd0,5)

I'm sure there is a thread on this somewhere, but after looking though the first 100+ search results, I can't seem to find it.

After a kernel update today, I noticed that new kernels are not being added to my grub menu.lst (so consequently, I was running an older kernel).

Dual Booting Debian-Fedora12 3 years 13 weeks ago

I am a bit confused about my current kernel/kmod-nvidia update situation. When I run "yum check-update" I am confronted with the output below:

NTLDR is missing 3 years 29 weeks ago

I've installed Fedora 11 on top of Windows 7, and at startup, when I select Windows 7 to boot to, I get a message saying:

Code: NTLDR is missing Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to Restart Currently, I have my boot layout setup so that when my computer starts I go into grub. The content of my /boot/grub/menu.lst file looks like this:

I just upgraded a F9 to F11 using the network install. After the successful install message, I rebooted to find the boot stuck on a grub prompt. After determining that somehow grub had not been installed properly, I used the rescue mode to re-install grub. When I then rebooted, I saw a blank (black) screen during the rhgb sequence, with just the multicolor progress bar moving from left to right.

The latest update changed the default boot from 0 to 1 and added extra parameters to the new kernel boot line. ################################################## ### default=1 timeout=8 splashimage=(hd0,7)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz # hiddenmenu

Extremely slow machine 3 years 16 weeks ago

Hello,

I run F12. Since some days my laptop has become very sluggish. In Mozilla, switching between the tabs takes like seconds instead of fraction of a second. Also minimizing and mximizing windows takes long. Switching between the windows too takes long. Now I can't see the cursor while typing this post.
