When i try to mount my new fedora installations partition from suse It says that it cant find the partition type. When i use - t ext3 it says wrong partition type. dmesg says that no valid ext3 filesystem is found. I didnt let fedora install grub because its already installed, so i need to get the kernel and such and boot it in my /boot (in suse).
Since i cant mount the fedora partition... I tried using the fedora CD as a rescue disc and boot from it... but the screen doesnt come up properly when i do that (i can only see about 3 centimetres of the screen on the left, the rest is blank.) THis is on a widescreen LCD display (acer laptop)
Any ideas how i could possibly boot this fedora installation!? I would really like to use fedora during a linux workshop im running.
If that was my drive I would remove the swap partition and create a new extended partition starting at 6643 which would be hda3, then add the swap back (say hda5) and claim back the unused space with hda6....
