similar to: GRUB boot options

Hi ! I am running CentOS 5 using grub 0.97

Does anyone have a standard install of CentOS virtualization grub.conf working in a proven state with the FALLBACK option? If so, can you post your grub.conf? I mistakenly updated to 5.5 and am concerned about nvidia driver comments in the release notes. I did not have protectbase configured on this machine. It is a remote device that will reboot.

Dear All: I am having trouble trying to dual-boot VMware and Linux, and I tried everything I could come up with. The situation is that /dev/sda is fully used by VMware and /dev/sdb is used by Linux. VMware uses Syslinux, so I thought this would be simple... However, it is not. The bootable FAT partition is too smal to have kernels in it. As a fallback I tried to chain-load GRUB, but that did not

All, I''m trying to figure out the best way to use augeas to manage grub.conf. The issue is that I want users to be able to do whatever they like but: 1) The active, running, kernel should be the default *fallback* 2) I need to be able to set the ''default'' to the last entry added I''ve tried something like: set default /files/etc/grub.conf/count(title) But,

I never thought I'd say this, but I think it's easier to do this with GRUB 2. Anyway I did an installation to raid1's in CentOS 6's installer, which still uses GRUB legacy. I tested removing each of the two devices and it still boots. These are the commands in its log: : Running... ['/sbin/grub-install', '--just-copy'] : Running... ['/sbin/grub',

I'm trying to load CentOS 6.3 on a used server based on a Tyan Tomcat n3400b motherboard. The first 2 drives are configured as a RAID mirror in the BIOS and the remaining 4 drives are not configured but apparently still have RAID metadata on them. I hadn't yet figured out how to fix that but went ahead and loaded the OS on the mirrored set. After pulling out a drive from the unused

There's grub 0.97 on CentOS 5. The manual at http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/index.html says it is for 0.97. However, it mentions for instance a program grub-set-default that is not present in grub-0.97-13.2. It also mentions grub.conf options savedefault and fallback. Are these available in the CentOS grub? I tried with savedefault and it does not create a

Hi, What's the proper/normal way of setting up GRUB for a CentOS 6 installation that boots using UEFI? I've recently set up such a system, but for technical reasons I mentioned in an earlier post, I booted in "legacy" mode during installation, which meant I didn't get the correct UEFI boot configuration, and had to set it up subsequently "by hand". I've

Hi, This morning one of my servers (centos 4.5) refused to boot. The console shows a lopp message grub loading stage2... I've been able to boot from the install CD choosing the rescue option. I can chroot /mnt/sysimage with no problems and even started the services (network, mysql , httpd etc). How can I solve this? I've followed the manual (

Paths in grub.conf are relative to the filesystem containing it. grub parsing currently assumes that it is on /boot, and will fail if it isn't, for example because a guest only has a single partition. This patch makes grub parsing work harder to work out what grub paths are relative to. Firstly, it looks for a previous detected 'linux-grub' filesystem. If this isn't found, it

If I have a system with two disks, where device.map labels one as hd0 and the other as hd1, and I swap those numbers, the resulting boot sector will differ by one bit.

So I installed centos8. And I was looking for the grub config file: [root at testbox ~]# ls -l /etc/grub2.cfg lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 22 Oct 2 13:01 /etc/grub2.cfg -> ../boot/grub2/grub.cfg [root at testbox ~]# But [root at testbox ~]# ls /boot/grub2/ grubenv [root at testbox ~]# Why is it not there? FYI, I did try 'yum reinstall grub2' and no /boot/grub2/grub.cfg for me.

I started a new thread since the original one is getting rather long. I have retrieved the files I deleted in /boot and /boot/grub, however I need to make links for /boot/System.map (System.map -> System.map-2.6.9-89.35.1) /boot/vmlinuz (vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-2.6.9-89.35.1) /boot/grub/menu.lst (menu.lst -> ./grub.conf) If it was not so important to get it correct, I would appreciate
