Fedora 8 will only boot under certain circumstances
Hello,
I'm currently using Fedora 8. To get it to run, I set my bios to boot from the full installation DVD, and select "Boot From local Harddrive". When I do that, it runs just fine. When I set the bios to boot directly from the hard drive, it goes through the following:
Code:
Booting 'Fedora (26.23.1-42.fc8)'
root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
Kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.23.1-42.fc8 ro root=/dev/volgroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quit
[Linux.bz Image, setup=0x2c00, size=0xle0320]
and then it hangs indefinitely. No error message, nothing. I'm not running any partitions on this machine.
My boot/grub.conf is
Code:
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.23.1-42.fc8 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.23.1-42.fc8.img
fdisk -l gives :

Any solution or ideas on how to fix this problem would be great. Thanks! |
