Show GRUB menu in Fedora Core 3. Fedora Core would be looking so good when GRUB is loading but when you press any additional key then it could be become annoying for you to get rid of the problem. Here I have provided you the solution to show GRUB menu again. 1. Start terminal and type: su + password 2. Start editing the grub.conf file: Code: gedit /etc/grub.conf |

Re: Show GRUB menu in Fedora Core 3. I have this 6 partitions on my disk: hd0, 0 \ u003d Windows XP hd0, 1 \ u003d Documents hd0, 2 \ u003d Music hd0, 4 \ u003d Fedora / boot hd0, 5 \ u003d Fedora / root hd0, 6 \ u003d Fedora / swap I use GRUB installed in the MBR to boot Windows XP and Fedora Core, but under Windows XP with Partition Magic I made another partition in the headspace of the sheet music, now I have 7 partitions. hd0, 0 \ u003d Windows XP hd0, 1 \ u003d Documents hd0, 2 \ u003d Music hd0, 4 \ u003d Videos hd0, 5 \ u003d Fedora / boot hd0, 6 \ u003d Fedora / root hd0, 7 \ u003d Fedora / swap But the problem is that GRUB does not boot. Now I can not boot any system and what seems to me the GRUB boot screen minimal bash-like line black. What should I do to solve this problem? Should I reinstall GRUB or should I just edit / boot / grub / grub.conf with the new entries? |

Re: Show GRUB menu in Fedora Core 3. What happened here is that you broke GRUB partition table. When you delete or add partitions, table numbers and boot drive / letters changed their orders in the file / boot / grub / grub.conf. Since you did this using Windows, grub does not know things have changed and tries to turn to the boot partition of Fedora wrong places. Before adding the new partition Videos, Fedora boot partition was on hd0, 4. After adding the new partition Videos, Fedora boot partition is now hd0, 5. You need to tell GRUB about this change. How? Editing grub.conf. |

Re: Show GRUB menu in Fedora Core 3. This is the grub.conf before adding the new partition Code: # grub.conf generated by anaconda default \ u003d 0 timeout \ u003d 10 splashimage \ u003d (hd0, 4) / grub / splash.xpm.gz Under GNU / Linux Fedora Core 1 (2.4.22-1.2174.nptl) root (hd0, 4) kernel / vmlinuz-2.4.22 root 1.2174.nptl-ro \ u003d LABEL \ u003d / hdc apm \ u003d ide-scsi \ u003d acpi \ u003d off on rhgb initrd / initrd-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl.img Title Microsoft Windows XP Pro rootnoverify (hd0, 0) chainloader +1 1) Start with your installation CD for Fedora Core 1. 2) Type "linux rescue" at the prompt. 3) Answering questions on the keyboard and language. 4) Tell the rescue mode to use your proper partition to mount (the one you want to get the boot), Select Continue (Do not choose Cancel or Read Only) Because you want to edit grub.conf . 5) When you come to the command console, type: Code: sh-2.05 # chroot / mnt / sysimage Code: sh-2.05 # nano / boot / grub / grub.conf Code: splashimage \ u003d (hd0, 4) / grub / splash.xpm.gz root (hd0, 4) This is the after editing your grub.conf grub.conf Code: # grub.conf generated by anaconda default \ u003d 0 timeout \ u003d 10 splashimage \ u003d (hd0, 5) / grub / splash.xpm.gz Under GNU / Linux Fedora Core 1 (2.4.22-1.2174.nptl) root (hd0, 5) kernel / vmlinuz-2.4.22 root 1.2174.nptl-ro \ u003d LABEL \ u003d / hdc apm \ u003d ide-scsi \ u003d acpi \ u003d off on rhgb initrd / initrd-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl.img Title Microsoft Windows XP Pro rootnoverify (hd0, 0) chainloader +1 Code: sh-2.05 # exit |
