The last time I installed FC5 in VMware, but I couldn't get on my public network! So I want to directly divide a hard disk to dress!
So I used pqmagic from the original F disk to all of the FAT32 format, it is used to install FC5 for a while.
Specific disks condition: C (HDA1), D (HDA5), E (HDA6), F (HDA7) are partitions WIN, C is NTFS (WinXP), others are FAT32. It is divided into 10G in a partition. The HDA8 is 150m is / boot, and 1G on HDA9 is SWAP, and the remaining space is all available / on HDA10. There is no mandatory Linux partition as the primary partition when installing.
The FC5 hard drive has been completed. Using Grub for DOS, using Memdisk.gz and DiskBoot.img. The installation process is very smooth! But the problem is here! After the installation is complete, restart, because there is no GRUB, can only go directly to WinXP, then try to enter FC5 many times!
My test method:
1. Directly add access to partition directly in the menu.lst of Grub for DOS:
Title FC5 (HD0, 7)
Root (HD0, 7)
Kernel /Vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.2054_fc5 Ro root = label = / 1 rhgb quiet
Initrd /initrd-2.6.15-1.2054_fc5.img
When startup, you can find KERNEL with INITRD, but next, you can't find the device, / dev can't find some file systems such as PROC, then initialize the process, then press RESET to restart!
2. Using NTLDR loading:
First enter the Linux Rescue mode where the FC5 is installed, then mount a FAT32 partition, and then generate an LNX file with the DD command, as follows (the following command is executed behind the SH #):
Chroot / MNT / SysImage
MKDIR / MNT / WIN
Mount -t vfat / dev / hda7 / mnt / win
DD IF = / dev / hda8 of = / mnt / win / bootlinux.lnx BS = 512 count = 1
exit
exit
At this time, the system will restart
HDA7 is WinXP last partition, FAT32 format. HDA8 is my point to / boot
Enter WinXP, copy the bootlinux.lnx just now to C: / down, and modify the Boot.ini file:
In the last joining line:
C: /bootlinux.lnx= "fc5 boot"
After saving, restart, choose the load that just joined: "FC5 boot"
However, after entering, the cursor has been flashing, and there is no further action! Not a crazy, the keyboard has the reaction!
Later, I entered WinXP, I saw UltraEdit, and the bootlinux.lnx file size was 512 bytes, which is 0, 16. 0.
3: Update GRUB
Using the boot disk, enter the installation interface, directly update installation, then the next step will be prompted to install Loader. This time you choose to install GRUB. However, the next installer will tell me, because there is no package installation and system change, just now The startup configuration will not change! (Ruple, this means) is still the same as the original! Hey, what I can find with the startup is so much, I don't have any other ways again!
Which one can tell me, how can I go to the FC5 that just put it? Many thanks!
