grub error after installing F9
 

hai,

i was having dual boot (winXP & F7) in one hard disk. Later i had got new had disk and installed F9 in the second one. New grub had recognized WinXP but did not pick up F7.

i could not even mount the F7 partition.
error which i got was:

could not mount lvm2pv partition

Can some one please help in mounting F7 partion?
Is there a way to make the system multi boot i.e, can i have all three OS's (XP,F7 & F9) running on my system?
How can i make the grub recognize the F7 partion?

Fedora uses lvm by default, so you need to mount the logical volume on the lvm partition. See if you can locate the logical volume under /dev/VolGroupXX/ where XX is the volume group for the LVM phyisical partition on your first disk. Once you get the F7 root partition mounted, look in boot/grub/menu.lst and use the same stanza for F7 and add it to your current menu.lst file.

hai jschiwal,

i found two volume in under /dev/VolGroupXX/

LogVol00
LogVol01

i presume that one belongs to F7 and other to F9. But i don't know the exact mapping of drives. is there a way to find out that.

will the "mount" command work after i found out the correct volume of F7?
