Greetings,
I upgraded an RH7.1 box to FC1 and it went fairly smoothly.
One thing I noticed after the upgrade though -- it was
still using lilo and grub hadn't been installed. So I
installed & attempted to configure grub, with only partial
success - it manages to boot to the grub> prompt but then
it waits for me to manually finish the boot procedure by
entering these commands by hand:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2115.nptlsmp root=/dev/hda5
initrd /initrd-2.4.22-1.2115.nptlsmp.img
boot
I really really want this to be automated at bootup!
There must be something really simple that I am missing -
right? Any advice would be very much appreciated. Some
more info on how I installed follows FYI.
Thanks a lot,
My best guess is that /boot has not been set up properly. Did you give
it a separate partition when you installed?
If you did, put it on its own partition, there should be a reference to
it in your /etc/fstab and that needed to be mounted when you ran the
grub-install command.
