Dear all,
I have updated/upgraded the machine that was
freezing all the time to Rawhide using Fedora Preview Iso + Updates.
There is only one gotcha. Grub is not working
correctly?
When starting up machine. IT does nothing it stays
at
GRUB
and stays there. I can successfully boot it using
livecd's to boot the partition.
I only see the line
GRUB
and that is all there is no grub prompt grub>
I used RipLinux-5.3 and booted from the fourth partition where Fedora resides. I was confused since the initial kernel(Fedora 8 Pre-Release) worked, and the entries
root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 vs root=UUID=d82c76e1-bbe7-4a0d-94e9-711b3aea50db
That changed and I do not comprehend what happened. I can still boot, but I wondered what happened.
I'll try your advise on Monday when I get back to the machine and hope that that will cure it.
Thanks for your advice,
Antonio

that grub-install /dev/sda1 may not have worked. since that is your win xp partition.
here is what I did: boot from a CD that has rescue mode do the chroot to /mnt/sysimage run grub interactively at the grub> prompt grub> root (hd0,1) grub> setup /dev/sda grub>quit
that should put what grub needs in the MBR.
reboot
HTH Richard P.S. there are other emails about this in the archives.
[students@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/fedora-release Fedora release 9 (Sulphur) [students@localhost ~]$ uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.25-14.fc9.i686 #1

I have already run grub-install /dev/sda1 from
Fedora 9 Preview DVD to make sure everything is ok. Is there anything that looks incorrect in grub.conf below.
BTW: Machine does not freeze anymore. Maybe it
did not like Fedora 8.
Thanks in Advanced,
Antonio
