Hello
I have Debian and Suse installed on my computer.
Debian in sda6
Suse in sda5
and Fedora in sda8
When I had only debian and Suse installed, everything was OK. I could add menu.lst o debian to menu.lst in suse, or suse menu.lst to debian. Also I have unifique ubuntu, debian and Mepis menu.lst, but now...
After instaling Fedora, I added suse and debian to my fedora menu.lst, i saved changes, and when I restart my PC, I have only Fedora to choose...
What could be wrong with Fedora??
I restored my grub debian menu with SGD, but now I have debian, suse, but I have not Fedora.
Can I add fedora to my menu.lst?
Fedora is installed in sda8
Any advice?
Which lines I have to add?
fedora's anaconda installer is not good at seeing other linux installs
and seeing as you reinstalled grub from debain just add fedora to grub.conf ( menu.lis )
in fedora menu.lis is a link to grub.conf
Hello
Thank you for helping
When I installed Fedora, Fedora asked me insall it on ext4
I didnot want, but....

Well you can do two thinks reinstalled Fedora /boot = ext3 rest ext4
Second us LILO and not GRUB as boot loader it seems that LILO can read from ext4.
Thank you ronlau9.
I made that and everything was OK
Just a question
I have debian on sda5 that is ext3
I have installed fedora boot on sda6, that is ext3
I have installed fedora gnu/linux on sda7
Then I added fedora to sda5/boot/grub/menu.lst
I added it:
Code:
title Fedora
chainloader (hd0,5)
hd(0,5) means sda6 where I have something on the first 512 bytes, because I read about, that when I put chainloader, PC reads the first 512 sectors of the partition. In this case is sda6
And then it boots Fedora on sda7
Do you understand
Then I have
On sda5 - my grub menu
On sda7 - my Fedora files
On sda6 - ???? What I have there???
