Booting fedora from mandrake
 

Friends,
I got stuck in this bootloader problem which is I had win2000,fc1 and fc2 in my hd. For boot I used the grub Of fc2 and recently i installed mandrake over fc2. So now mandrakes GRUB bootloader boots only win2000. How to bring the fc1 here ? As I was using grub.conf of FC2 which is now been overwritten by mandrake so how to bring the FC1 to boot in mandrakes grub ?

Mandrakes /etc/lilo.conf results :

boot=/dev/hda
install=menu
vga=normal
default="linux-smp"
keytable=/boot/us.klt
prompt
nowarn

Partition table entries are not in disk order

Looking forward for ur reply.
Thanks in advance.

make up your mind choose grub or lilo. You appear to post lilo and I can't help you with it.

is grub still in your mbr?

a possible grub file could be

default 0
fallback 1

title hda7
root (hd0,6)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda7 hdc=ide-scsi
initrd /boot/initrd.img
# scsi for dvd?

title xp on part3
rootnoverify (hd0,2)
hide (hd0,1)
hide (hd0,2)
makeactive
chainloader +1

title w95 on part1
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1

title hda9
root (hd0,8)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda9 hdc=ide-scsi
initrd /boot/initrd.img

Fail? then post your grub file and your /boot file list for each distro hda7 and hda9 OR get grub out of mbr by installing lilo into mbr and redoing lilo file which I still can not help you with.

Thanks for ur reply.
I was using grub of fc2 which I overwrited by mandrakes lilo bootloader. Thats how I made the problem.
I changed the boot loader of manderake to GRUB. But I couldn't find this grub.conf file in /etc
Can I use FC1's grub.conf file to take over ?

OK I got it solved. I overwrited my mandrakes GRUB bootloader with Fedora core1's Grub.
I added mandrake there.
Thanks for ur help anyway.:)
