Grub ???
Hi I'm traing to install Fedora Core 2 in addition to Windows XP OS. I have partitioned my WD 80GB hard in 5 partition with 1 first partition for WinXP and the second partition in another 4 segment (1 for WinXP and 3 for Linux (/, swap, /home)).
Hi
I'm traing to install Fedora Core 2 in addition to Windows XP OS.
I have partitioned my WD 80GB hard in 5 partition with 1 first partition for WinXP and the second partition in another 4 segment (1 for WinXP and 3 for Linux (/, swap, /home)). I installed first the WinXP and after that Fedora Core 2. After the Fedora installation making a new reboot I can't run properly the Grub to choice the right OS. On my display appear the "Grub" inscription and wait, wait, wait,...
During the Fedora installation I got a warning referring to the BIOS Geometry and I choice the Ignore option. ???
Could you help me somebody.
With best regards
Attila

it seems to me you've done all of the right things..
when you say you see the "Grub inscription", do you mean the Grub boot menu
appears but is blank?
Or do you mean the Grub boot menu appears and lists the two OSes, but just
sits there waiting?
Grub does provide a command line interface you can use to specify which disk
partition it should try to boot from.
can you boot from your Fedora disk, mount /dev/hda6 and post the contents
of your /boot/grub/menu.lst and /boot/grub/device.map files?
