In my GRUB bootloader, I am getting two entries for Fedora. I am using the default GRUB distributed with Fedora 12. The two entries are as shown below. I looked in the boot folder of my Fedora filesystem and each entry has its own config file. I'm kind of a newbie and I am trying to understand why this happened. Should I delete one, and if so which? Would I be better off to leave both?
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 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.
I am fairly new to Fedora, and Linux in general. There may be an easy solution to this, but I am not quite certain. How can I disable my Fedora machine from automatically updating the grub and kernel. I have a Windows 7 and Fedora boot option, however additional entries get placed after the updating, essentially messing up the entire order of the grub.
how to retrieve other partitions ?
I had Fedora 15 on a computer, dual booted with Windows 7. I did a fresh install of Fedora 17, but in the process I seem to have wiped out its capability to boot Windows 7, which I'm pretty sure is still on the disk.
My plan is to install grub on the /boot partition of the new Fedora 17 and then fix the MBR to boot Windows and use Easy BCD under Windows to dual boot.
My laptop came installed with windows 7 and I set it up to dual boot with Ubuntu and for a long time everything was good. Then I decided I wanted to move to Fedora 16 and for the past month or so I've been triple booting Windows 7, Ubuntu, and Fedora.
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 ?
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.
