dual boot with FC6 and FC5
Hello,
I have been trying dual boot of FC5 (-64bit) and FC6 (-64bit).
Here is the problem:
I have one SATA drive. Half of it (sda1 to sda3) has FC5. Other half is free. To install FC, I put the iso files in a folder sda1, where FC5 sits. Boot FC6 installation using a USB pendrive (which is sdb). Using "configure advanced boot loader options", I put boot loader onto sda MBR (otherwise it stays at sdb, which is not what I wanted). Now I can boot FC6, but not FC5. If select FC5 at boot, I got message saying: “rootnoverify (hd0,0)
Chainloader +1
Error 13: Invalid or unsupported exectable format, Press any key to continue…”.
Then I will be back to boot menu. If select FC6, the system waited for a long time at “Red Hat nash Version 5.1.9 starting…”, and then the message “ata2: port failed to respond. ata2: SRST failed …”. The system boots eventually, but I suspect it is not running right. Now the main problem is that FC5 is lost. I did system upgrade using FC5 CD1, and updated boot loader, then the FC6 is gone.
I think I saw some posts about editing boot loader configuration manually. I don’t want to get into there if I can avoid it. There got to be something wrong I did during installation. Can anyone show me the right way?
(For FC5, I have sda1, sda2, sda3. Then FC6 comes in, created sda4 as extended partition, FC is sitting in sda5 and sda6, it automatically created LVM. I just used the automatic configuration with “using free disk space”).
