Hello, Everyone :) I did all I reasonbly could to answer this on my own, and I found no applicable information. Here's the scenario: I have four devices hooked up to the two ide busses on my motherboard. They could be described something like this: primary master: Western Digital 120 gig HD primary slave: CD-ROM, indeterminate origin Secondary Master: Maxtor 120 gig HD Secondary Slave: Maxtor 40 gig HD
I have grub installed on the master boot record, but I installed FC2TR3 on the Secondary Slave, and chose to install GRUB on that disc, so my main systems GRUB configuration would not get wiped out. What I would like to do is either burn a CD that would boot right to my Fedora Core 2 test release 3 installation, like a boot floppy used to when we could make those. Or, I would like to add my Secondary Slave (I'm ASSUMING it is "hd3", since my grub.conf says that the location of my kernels is (hd0,0)) to my GRUB boot menu.
The following is my grub.conf, with one kernel from my Fedora Core 1 installation, and my attempt at booting FC2TR3 being the only entries I'm going to burden you with :): #boot=/dev/hda default=0 timeout=10 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz title Fedora Core (2.4.22-1.2188.nptl) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2188.nptl ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb initrd /initrd-2.4.22-1.2188.nptl.img title Fedora Core 2tr3 (2.6.5-1.327) root (hd2,1) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.5-1.327 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb initrd /initrd-2.6.5-1.327.img
Here, I hope, is the /boot directory that I got the 2tr3 information from: grub/ lost+found/ boot.b chain.b config-2.6.5-1.327 initrd-2.6.5-1.327.img memtest86+-1.11 os2_d.b System.map-2.6.5-1.327 vmlinuz-2.6.5-1.327
I have (hd2,1) in my "root" line in grub.conf, but that is just the last guess I made at trying to get this to work on my own. I tried (hd3,0) and (hd3,1), and nothing worked.
If this has been answered elsewhere, please feel free to just give me a link to where it's been answered, and I'll be glad to take it from there. Of course, if I can't figure it out then, THEN I'll come back to the experts (you, of course :))
Have a Great Day :) Steven P. Ulrick

I'm not shure, what what you exactly did. Did you partition your disc to have a separate /boot partition (/dev/hdc1 traditionally) and a partition for root (/dev/hdc2) and did you instruct grub to install in /dev/hdc1? In this case you may try:
title Fedora Core 2tr3 (2.6.5-1.327) rootnoverify (hd2,0) chainloader +1
Should work the same way, if you did install all the stuff into one partition ( /dev/hdc1 = hd(2,0) )
Given your setup, what is the error message you receive?

Hello, Peter :) I added the entry you said I should try to grub.conf, and it works like a charm :) But now I understand why some people are talking on the kde-devel list about KDE not working on Fedora Core. KDE won't even start :( But hey, the reason I installed Fedora Core 2 Test Release 3 is to try to install KDE from source, and possible from CVS HEAD, so that maybe we can figure out why some peopl are having these issues. But thanks again, Peter. Other than the KDE issue, everything worked perfectly :)

What are you talking about? It works fine for me. I use both KDE and Gnome. Switchdesk (version 4.0.3.1) is even fixed to the point where one can easily switch back and forth (bugzilla #121840.)

Hello, Gerry :) Unfortunately, I had only tried to log into KDE once since I had installed Fedora Core 2, Test Release 3. When I logged back in later that night to begin installing KDE from CVS HEAD, it did log in :) So I do apologize for any confusion that I've created. Off topic a little bit, but KDE from CVS HEAD is compiling and installing wonderfully. It will be interesting to find out why an unusual amount of people are having Fedora Core/KDE related issues. If anyone doesn't know what I'm talking about, check out the "DANGER Fedora" (The capitals in "Danger" are not mine. :)) thread on the Kde-Devel mailing list.
Anyway, have a Great Day :) Steven P. Ulrick
