Bonjour,
I have a laptop with a dual boot XP/FC1; at the beginning, all was working fine
the logging on either FC1 or XP was working. Now I cannot access to XP, when it
is choosed in grub, I can only see
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
... boot to FC1 works.
What did happen, and what can I do. I dont know anything to XP.
Thank you.

Hi,
I recently installed FC2 on a IBM laptop and since then I'm looking for
instructions on how to install the proper drivers for the MA401 wireless
network adapter.
The problem is that I'm new to linux and all the instructions I have found
so far are not very much step-by-step, rookie oriented style.
Does anyone know about a good list of directions for this?
Regards,
Fernando Messeder.

un-dual boot XP & FC2
How do I correct the boot procedure?
Neither will boot separately. How do I fix this?
BACKGROUND
I have 2 hardrives. hda is XP, and hdb is FC2, managed
by Grub. I want to separate them. I bought drive
trays, so when I want FC2, I put in FC2 tray. When I
want XP, I put in XP tray. RESULT: not dual boot
system.
QUESTION
how do I correct the boot procedure?
WHAT I'VE TRIED
I take out hdb (FC2) and boot hda XP only. I get:
"GRUB hard disk error"
I place FC2 as primary master and adjust jumper as
master:
"
Booting from CD ROM
<goes to next line and waits...forever>
"
So, I think that I need to re-write a mbr, but I'm out
of my depth here. Any help appreciated.

I applied the KDB v4.4-2.6.9-rc1 patches to linux-2.6.8-1.533 (*), and
now I get a strange build error:
/usr/src/linux-2.6.8-1.533/arch/i386/kernel/entry.S: Assembler messages:
/usr/src/linux-2.6.8-1.533/arch/i386/kernel/entry.S:431: Error: symbol `int80_ret_start_marker' is already defined
/usr/src/linux-2.6.8-1.533/arch/i386/kernel/entry.S:431: Error: symbol `int80_ret_end_marker' is already defined
Here's the compilation line that causes the error:
gcc -Wp,-MD,arch/i386/kernel/.entry.o.d -nostdinc -iwithprefix include -D__KERNEL__ -Iinclude -Iinclude2 -I/usr/src/linux-2.6.8-1.533/include -D__ASSEMBLY__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.6.8-1.533/include/asm-i386/mach-default -Iinclude/asm-i386/mach-default -m32 -traditional -m32 -c -o arch/i386/kernel/entry.o /usr/src/linux-2.6.8-1.533/arch/i386/kernel/entry.S
But, here's the rub: int80_ret_start_marker is not being redefined at
line 431 of entry.S AFAICT. If I grep through all the sources, I find
that int80_ret_start_marker is only referenced twice:
# find . -name "*[chS]" -exec fgrep -Hn int80_ret_end_marker {} \;
./arch/i386/kernel/entry.S:140: cmpl $int80_ret_end_marker, %eax; \
./arch/i386/kernel/entry.S:171:int80_ret_end_marker: \
and neither of them are at line 431.
What gives?
Thanks.

(*) I applied the 2.6.9 KDB patches to the Fedora 2.6.8-1.533 sources
instead of the 2.6.8 KDB patches because two 2.6.9 patches were
applied to the Fedora 2.6.8-1.533 sources. All patches (except one)
applied with fuzz factor of 3. The one that didn't was easily fixed.
