Installing Linux from Hard Drive
Hello all !
I have OpenSuSE 11.2 installed, I want to install fedora 16 on OpenSuse 11.2. I created a directory /FedoraSetup. Where is the .iso file resodes. Also, I have extracted there; initrd.img, image firectory and vmlinuz. I have appended the following to the menu.lst file : title Install Fedora Linux root (hd0,4) kernel /FedoraSetup/vmlinuz initrd kernel /FedoraSetup/initrd.img boot But, I can not boot from this file !!! Can you please help me ? |
Have you read the install guide?

Here is another link for installing fedora from hard-drive:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/...ll-hd-x86.html |
menu.lst seems to be mis-configured
# df Filesystem >> Moundted on /dev/sda7 >> / udev >> /dev /dev/sda5 >> /boot /dev/sda8 >> /home the iso file is located @ /FedoraSetup/Fedora16.iso and the current /boot/grub/menu.lst configuration file ends with the following lines: title Fedora 16 root (hd0,0) kernel /FedoraSetup/vmlinuz initrd /FedoraSetup/initrd.img boot So, can anybody please point out where the error is ? How can I boot from this .iso file, which is located at the above position (/FedoraSetup/Fedora16.iso) |
did you read and understand the install instructions?
"root (hd0,0)" hd0,0 is the FIRST partition on the FIRST drive you already stated you put grub on the 6th partition of the first drive ( sda5 ) that should read Code:
root (hd0,5)sda1,sda2,sda3,and sda4 ( well sad4 will be an extended partition ) what are you using to boot both? suse grub on sda1 to boot both or suse boot on sda1 to chainload to sha5 |
