Linux wont boot
 

OK, i just did a FTP Instalation of Fedora Core 2, and finished without errors, now whenever it boots all it says is GRUB in the top left corner of the screen. Any suggestions, o BTW i have SATA Raid 0 and a P4p800

hi
go to rescue mode and then
#chroot /mnt/sysimage
and then
vi /etc/grub.conf

post that here
regards

When you have that frozen grub

try

find /boot/grub/stage1

this will give you a list of disks

now finish with
root (hdx,x) use the information of that list
setup (hdx)

ok let me just point out that im a newbie with linux

OK i tried that and it said "No such directory"

could it be the SATA drives? How would i get the Driver Disks for the SATA Controllers its ICH5 i believe

plz help

ok i put grub on the other drive (hda) and now it says GRUB is now loading, except it dosn't do anything else. Any suggestions

hi could u elaborate moe on ur previous post up there
what eror msg. do u get????

regards

i got get an Error Message all it says is "Grub is Now Loading" so i wait for 15 minuites and nothing happens

hi

anyway we need ur grub.conf....

u need to check out to use rescue mode for ur setup
becasue i have been using the same FC2 and it is working fine for me

#chroot /mnt/sysimage

this should work!!!!!!!!

or in linux rescue
fdisk -l
will give u linux partiton no.
then
mkdir /mnt/tmp
mount /dev/hdax /mnt/tmp

replace hdax by ur partiton no.

hi
If you install with the default FC2 kernel (kernel-2.6.5-1.358.ixxx.rpm) on an ASUS P4P800 you will have problems anyway.

Check out the "The Unofficial Fedora FAQ".

For sorting out the kernel problem check:

I hope I was of some help.

im using the special P4P800 Bootdisks

Ok tryed this step and it didn't work, could a reason why it wont better is because the drive is a secondary slave drive?

hi

make ur drive primary master and give it a try, i sometime have had some problems with primary secondary thing

--------------------------------------
if that doesnot works then

what message di u get with
#chroot /mnt/sysimage

also if u have seconary drive then
try these
post the output here

#fdisk -l /dev/hdd
#mkdir /mnt/tmp
#mount /dev/hddx /mnt/tmp

replace 'x' by ur partiton no.
