Hi I feel I have experienced Fedora meltdown
I have attempted to use the DVD Fedora 7 UPGRADE facility and left with a system that is unbootable and showing multiple kernels.
Thankfully I have backed up my /home folder onto external HDD. But would rather attempt understand and fix this, before a fresh re-install.
I felt I followed all the appropriate steps on the upgrade choices on the installation routine - however I am now presented with a solitary boot screen that indicates:
"Booting Fedora (2.6.20-1.2952.fc6xen)
root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /xen.gz-2.6.20-1.2952.fc6
Error 15:File not found
Press any key to continue..."
Fedora 6?? I thought I had upgraded to 7,??, Anyhow...
Pressing the key results in a GNU GRUB version 0.97 window that lists:
Fedora (2.6.20-1.2952.fc6xen)
Fedora-xen (2.6.20-2925.9.fc7xen)
Fedora-base (2.6.20-1.2952.fc6)
Fedora-base (2.6.21-1.3194.fc7)
Selecting any of these DOES NOT boot -
1. Selecting the fc6 kernels just presents the Error 15 screen again
2. Selecting the fc7 kernels displays a number of dmesg messages - but always finishes with:
"setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory
setuproot: error mounting /proc: No such file or directory
setuproot: error mounting /sys: No such file or directory
switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!"
At which point it just hangs and I have to manually power & reboot.
Please help - I'm completely stuck
