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

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

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, 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
