Need Help Duel Booting FC3 after Ubuntu.

zeroz52 · 02-27-2005, 09:33 PM

First, thanks for any help i receive in advance.
I have ubuntu installed on my master HD. I installed FC3 after, but once I was done and rebooted I could not see Ubuntu as a choice. I installed Grub under both installations, is this where i messed up? If so what should i do to get both to work. Thanks

Wow, a second thread about this? Grub must be CONFIGURED to see both installations. Look into the man pages for grub.conf and then post questions if you have any issues. I personally use LILO, or I'd be able to tell you more.

I get this error when I try to boot to Ubuntu:

rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

Error:13 Invalid or unsupptorted executable format.

Sorry for being a noob.

How do I " Look into the man pages for grub.conf "?

Sorry. I'm picking up a book tomorrow, I was just hoping to get this working tonight.

Try "man grub.conf". And you don't want to use the chainloader, that's for loading Windows-type OSes. Just copying the existing information for FC3 and changing the partitions for Ubuntu (or vice versa) and changing the name should be sufficient, I believe.
