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.
[students@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/fedora-release Fedora release 9 (Sulphur) [students@localhost ~]$ uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.25-14.fc9.i686 #1 SMP Thu May 1 06:28:41 EDT 2008 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux [students@localhost ~]$
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

Perhaps my explanation was not that clear.
I think you can do this from booting the liveCD. When you are up and running the live CD go to a terminal and su - to root then at the bash prompt type "grub" this will bring up grub in interactive mode(the grub> prompt.) then you can type the grub commands to reinstall grub to the MBR. according to your grub.conf your boot partition is on (hd0,1). that is why you give it the command "root (hd0,1)" so that it knows that the kernel and initrd are there. Then you give it the setup command to install the first part of grub into the MBR. "setup /dev/sda"
by giving it sda without the 1 or 2 or whatever it will install what it needs to the MBR and not to the first block of any partition.
I hope this is fixed for the GA release.

I tried the above, but close to the end I got:

Grub is working now. I used # grub-install /dev/sda
and all is fine. Thank you for sharing your example, it was still very helpful.

That setup command was wrong. It probably should have been: setup (hd0) If /dev/sda is the first drive as seen by the bios, then hd0 is the name that should have been used.

yup, my mistake, I was writing from memory, sorry. Richard

AFAIK grub-0.97 will not load boot files from a partition with inode size bigger that 128. That was not an issue in the past but the current mke2fs, when a partition is "big enough" - I believe, will use by default 256 bytes inodes. This should make possible a future migration to ext4. I wonder if this is not the problem you are seeing?
I can successfully boot it using livecd's to boot the partition.
In that case you can check. Boot that way and run
tune2fs -l /dev/sda2 | grep 'Inode size'
to see if the above is really the case. This assumes that /dev/sda2 is really the partition in question but "root (hd0,1)" seems to support that.
If my guess is correct then you would have to redo a file system on /dev/sda2 with an explicit '-I 128' request to mke2fs before restoring a content of this partition and reinstalling grub once again. Mind you, such action will change UUID so if that file system doubles as / then your current grub.conf and /etc/fstab will become invalid and will have to be adjusted. The later file will likely need changes in any case.
If you can confirm that this is what really happened then there is a really serious "gotcha" in anaconda.

When starting up machine. IT does nothing it stays
at
GRUB
AFAIK grub-0.97 will not load boot files from a partition with inode size bigger that 128. That was not an issue in the past but the current mke2fs, when a partition is "big enough" - I believe, will use by default 256 bytes inodes. This should make possible a future migration to ext4. I wonder if this is not the problem you are seeing?
I can successfully boot it using livecd's to boot
the partition.
In that case you can check. Boot that way and run
tune2fs -l /dev/sda2 | grep 'Inode size'
I tried the command above to see what was output and I got:
Inode size: 128
so it appears all is well. I did a # grub-install /dev/sda
and grub is working again :)

to see if the above is really the case. This assumes that /dev/sda2 is really the partition in question but "root (hd0,1)" seems to support that.
If my guess is correct then you would have to redo a file system on /dev/sda2 with an explicit '-I 128' request to mke2fs before restoring a content of this partition and reinstalling grub once again. Mind you, such action will change UUID so if that file system doubles as / then your current grub.conf and /etc/fstab will become invalid and will have to be adjusted. The later file will likely need changes in any case.
If you can confirm that this is what really happened then there is a really serious "gotcha" in anaconda.
