backup a working grub.conf somewhere.
Er, OK, my grub.conf:Code:timeout 5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title 2.6.21-gentoo
root (hd0,0)
kernel /kernel-2.6.21-gentoo root=/dev/sda3
I was suggesting to persian to back up his grub.conf file, its a pain in the but to fix if something breaks it.
I couldn't boot 2 nights ago, some program inserted a random "xen" in the kernal and modual arguments.
Ah, I see.
That's not really a big problem, though... grub even provides a command-line mode for just such an emergency, so you can write your boot instructions manually.
Ok I'll try some of these though probly not till thursday very busy right now
Ok Fedora is now up and running, Windows still isn't, but I think I will just take it in and let a professional do it thanks for all the help. I do have a question though I try to install Opera and after I press apply I get "Another application is running which is accessing software information." what application does it mean? I have tried it with no other windows open, but it won't work.
Hiya, i tried installing ubuntu because i was told it was supremely easy, but after a few tries of getting nvidia drivers to work, i decided to try fedora, as a friend told me his nvidia driver update was a piece o' cake. but after installing fc6, when i reboot i get "grub loading, please wait... error 15" i've tried the suggestions for going into rescue, then on the command line i type:
"chroot /mnt/sysimage"
"/sbin/grub-install /dev/hdb"
and i get as a response:
"/dev/hdb does not have any corresponding BIOS drive"
thanks for any help you guys can give me.
btw, i have win xp on my master 200gb, and i've been trying to get a nice linux os on a slave 30 gb. thanks
Try:Code:bash# grub-install --recheck /dev/hdb
