F10 Boot Problem - No LVM
Hello All,
I've installed Fedora 10 on an external HDD with the following partitions: (hd0,0) - GRUB bootloader files [PRIMARY] (hd0,1) - Chainload LILO for another Linux [PRIMARY] (hd0,2) - Fedora 10, no LVM or Swap (labeled F10) [PRIMARY] I'm trying to boot Fedora 10 using the following grub.conf: Code:
default=0 Code:
Activating logical volumes 2. Fedora looks for a "resume device" which seems to be the swap partition on a default install. Is there a way to specify that there is no swap partition? 3. Why does Fedora try to mount /dev/root when it is specified that root=/dev/sda3? I suspected the problem to be the "root=/dev/sda3", so I tried other alternatives with no success: root=(hd0,2)/dev/sda3 root=LABEL=/F10 Thanks in advance. Best regards, Max Kukartsev |
I would guess you have some errant entries in /etc/fstab. Can you boot into rescue mode with your CD/DVD and have a look?

Looks like a initrd problem - I have an F10 non-LVM system some-where (this post to remind me to look)
|
Where is the swap file
The OS needs to know were the swap is at. From what I see, none was specified.

It worked
Thanks guys,
The problem was indeed in a poor /etc/fstab configuration. The bad /etc/fstab contained the following: Code:
# And since I have no swap partition, I also commented out the "/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap" line in fstab. Now the working grub.conf file looks like this: Code:
default=0 Thanks again for all the help. |
It should work with root=/dev/sda3 (if that is the same partition). That's what I use for my grub entries where possible.
