Fedora Core 3, External Drive, & Grub
Hey everyone,
I've got a Dell D600 laptop. I've used Fedora Core 2 with it for quite sometime; however, I was stuck using Windows this past semester (since programs required for some of my school work only work in Windows). I had Fedora Core 2 installed on a USB hard drive so I'm familiar with installation, creating the custom initrd, etc, etc. Today I sat down to install Fedora Core 3. I installed it and everything with fine (here comes the inevitable) BUT I hit a snag. I've got grub installed on the external hard drive, I've got NTLDR configured to boot to the drive by loading a 512byte Linux.bin file and I've made my custom initrd image. My problem is this... Once I tell NTLDR to boot to Fedora, all that displays is GRUB At the top of the screen. Just to cover all of the bases: 1. I have grub.conf pointing to my new custom initrd image. 2. I'm using kernel 2.6.9-1.667 (but I really haven't gotten to experience it yet ;) 3. My USB drive is /dev/sdb 4. My grub.conf: # 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 (hd2,0) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sdb2 # initrd /initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/sdb1 default=0 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd2,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title Fedora Core 3 (2.6.9-1.667) root (hd2,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667 ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.9-1.667custom.img title Windows rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 _anyone_ that has any idea what to do, help! Thanks a lot! tom |
