How do I dual boot fedora 17 and fedora 21 using grub?
 
I am going to attempt to dual boot both fedora 17 and fedora 21, as my printer can print from FC17 but not from FC21 - posted about this issue in the hardware forum.

I am rather surprised at the level of competence of people posting here, even though it says newbie forum - so I think that this is possibly where I belong too.

I have set up grub to see my fedora 17 kernel - the only problem is, that the root filesystem needs to belong to the fedora 17 kernel as opposed to the fedora 21 kernel. I can't see myself changing fc 21's fstab to have the old lv root device mounted - as /etc belongs to the root partition of fc 21.

I did change the device to reflect the old kernel's root lv partition in the /etc/fstab (fc17), but this doesn't seem to do it.

Does someone know what I am missing?

I don't use Fedora nor have I ever used LVM but I think we would need more details. My understanding of LVM is that it requires/uses a separate boot partition. The best thing you could do is post more details on your system drives/partitions, boot files and general setup. The easiest way to do this is to go to the site below and download/run the bootinfoscript and post its output here, a results.txt file.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/

After reading your post again, I'm really not sure what your problem is. Have you actually installed both Fedora 17 and Fedora 21?

6th_sense 04-09-2015 03:17 PM
Hi Yancek,

I guess I'm not used to seeing that quick a response on the other forums....

It hadn't occured to me - but it is possible that my thread should be moved/closed to the fedora forum - since it may be a fedora specific question?? I'm not sure, I haven't used the other distributions of linux recently - did at one point use slackware entirely. I'm not sure that if a move/close is necessary, whether I can do that manually, or whether I would need an administrator to do that - I could see myself writing that I closed this thread and starting another thread in the fedora forum.

I may need to know the answer as to whether I should move this thread or not first, prior to spending time posting more here....

6th_sense 04-09-2015 03:18 PM
Administrators: Is this something that I need approval from a board admin for?

Can I close this thread by writing "closed" and re-enter the issue in a more appropriate forum?

Do I need to e-mail/talk to administrators about that?

Very unlikely to be Fedora specific.
If you are dual booting, it won't matter what's on the other system - just make sure the vg(s) and lv(s) are named uniquely to each system.

Provide the data asked for, you'll get better answers.

We are very dedicated here at Linux Questions; 6th_sense:-

After you run the bootinfoscript it will leave a text "TXT" file in the directory where you downloaded the script.
Post the output of it here when you have the time.

Hi guys,

I downloaded and ran that script - it's output is really useful!

I've attached the file as RESULTS.txt - as it is quite long.

Let me know what you think.

I should also add some extra data (at least I find this useful):

Ran the following command under fedora 21:
$ df -h

Code:
Filesystem                          Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
devtmpfs                            3.8G    0  3.8G  0% /dev
tmpfs                              3.8G  84K  3.8G  1% /dev/shm
tmpfs                              3.8G  952K  3.8G  1% /run
tmpfs                              3.8G    0  3.8G  0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/mapper/vg_tyton-lv_root        20G  8.7G  9.9G  47% /
tmpfs                              3.8G  592K  3.8G  1% /tmp
/dev/sda1                          477M  173M  275M  39% /boot
/dev/mapper/vg_tyton-lv_home        404G  337G  46G  88% /home
tmpfs                              766M    0  766M  0% /run/user/991
tmpfs                              766M  20K  766M  1% /run/user/1001
/dev/mapper/vg_tyton-lv_root--fc17  20G  12G  7.5G  61% /fed17

The lv_root--fc17 is where the /boot for fedora 17 resides and the root file system for fedora 17.

Not sure, how I would arrange to have grub (the boot loader) allow me to run fedora 17 at boot time.

Hi guys,

Thought I'd mention - I found Fedora's documentation on grub and some documentation on BIOS vs. UEFI. I am starting to run through those and understand the process.

It hadn't occured to me that this was a much more complicated process nowadays - so my grub.cfg is a really big mess.

Hadn't intended for anyone to have to explain rocket science to me.

Fedora 17 is WAY past it's end of life

with fedora 21 released few days ago...

in 30 DAYS fedora 19 will hit it's END OF LIFE

fedora 17 is unsupported !!!

have you asked in the
" END OF LIFE "section of Fedora forum ?

http://www.forums.fedoraforum.org/forumdisplay.php?f=75

right now fedora 1 through 18 are not supported ,then in 30 days fedora 19 ALSO will be unsupported

install a supported version of fedora !!!

Fedora 21

syg00 04-10-2015 10:14 PM
What was the point of that rant ?. The OP is running F21 already, and has a stated reason to fall back to F17.

As for the question re dual booting, I can't see why that grub setup won't allow dual booting as it is. I'm guessing you're sharing /home lv - not such a good idea unless you use different users.
As for the printer issue, best leave that to the separate thread you have active.

Ztcoracat 04-11-2015 07:16 PM
I'm not sure if you should modify the Grub configuration file or make a new menu entry.
Best to wait for yancek to read through this.

Hi guys,

I appreciate all the replies a lot...

I looked at how grub works and found some means to clean my grub.cfg up a little bit.

I might go ahead and do exactly that - though this is icing on the cake.... I actually managed to fix my printer - and am off to share the good news. :hattip:

So; Fedora 21 recognizes your printer?

Do you now have FC 17 and FC 21 in your GNU Grub Menu?
