similar to: SYSLINUX GRUB and booting logical partitions on USB drive

I have been trying to multiboot centos 4.1 and the current solaris express build 15. I have two hard drive s, the first one ( hd0 ) devoted to CentOS 4.1 and windows xp (no problems). The second drive (hd1) for Solaris 10 only. I tried to boot solaris from CentOS grub and got the following error messages: Booting Solaris 10 root(hd1,0) Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0Xbf kernel

Inspired from a similar patch posted on grub-devel for Grub2 I immersed myself into the code of Grub Legacy and came up with this absurdedly simple patch to allow syslinux or other bootloaders residing in logical partition to be chainloaded from GRUB Legacy (0.9x).

Hi All, I am trying to compile Xen 3.3.0 source code which downloads updates from mercurial repository. I am trying to modify the CPU scheduler, but before i make any changes i need to test it by installing it from source. OS: Fedora 8 Linux I compiled the source code by using [root@localhost xen-3.3.0]# make world [root@localhost xen-3.3.0]# make install [root@localhost xen-3.3.0]#

I have Windows 7 on /dev/sda and CentOS 6.4 on /dev/sdb. Here are the layouts: (parted) select /dev/sda Using /dev/sda (parted) print Model: ATA WDC WD10EZEX-00Z (scsi) Disk /dev/sda: 1000GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 1049kB 374MB 373MB primary ntfs boot

I installed C 6.0 in an empty partition. It functioned. Despite using the usually successful methods of booting into another operating system from C 5.7, I can't get into C 6.0 Tried:- title C6-0 (2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64) rootnoverify (hd0,6) chainloader +1 and root (hd0,6) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64 ro root=UUID=67c62872-0c69-451c-8412-3c218c0d2cb0 rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_LVM

Then I ran "syslinux d:" from a Win98SE DOS-box to (try to) initialize the partition's boot record. And added this from a

To test CentOS 5, I loaded from DVD adding it to a system at home running Fedora Core 7 T2. Partition Layout is: /dev/hda1 - / for the RH7T2 system /dev/hda2 - /home /dev/hda3 - swap /dev/hda4 - extended /dev/hda5 - / for CentOS 5 The system loaded cleanly and gave me the opportunity to tell grub about the other system. CentOS boots fine. Grub Stage 2 will show me both systems.

Adding title Windows XP rootnoverify (hd0,1) chainloader +1 to /etc/grub.conf has always worked for me on every dual boot Win2k, XP, 2k3 / linux boxes I have ever built. Install Windows first then install Linux. You do not need a kernel that has NTFS support and you don't have to play with NTLDR. I know that this goes against just about every Dual-Boot HOWTO you will

HI all, I had centos on a laptop (dual boot xp). I am giving the laptop to another person so I removed centos. Now when I reboot grub is confused... I tried to manually enter rootnoverify (hd0,0) makeactive chainloader +1 boot This does boot into XP but how do I tell grub that this is the new rules and do this everytime at boot. Thanks, Jerry

Hi all, I've installed CentOS 4.4 in a box which previously had dual boot (XP SP2 and Ubuntu) I can run CentOS without problem but I can't boot XP SP2. When I try it the system simply hangs...

I recently used a purchased centos 5.2 dvd to install. It all went smoothly, and I am up and running automagically it seems to have upgraded itself to 5.3 Final One peculiarity: I believe I was given the choice of: --installing the bootloader into mbr or --no bootloader install I did not want my mbr overwritten, so I chose no bootloader Why is there no choice of 1st sector of root partition?

I'm having some difficulties pxe booting Solaris. So far I have tried the mboot.c32, and the pxegrub shipped with Solaris. At first I had some problems with blksize, but this disapeared when I changed from atftpd to tftpd-hpa. The point at which I'm stuck now is, the kernel and x86.microroot/x86.miniroot is loaded but then VMWare crashes. I might try with real hardware, but I thought

Hi: Any hints/pointers welcome. I am very new to Xen, I have a AMD "AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4000+" based system on which I am running X86_64 Fedora Core 8. I have installed Xen-3.1 on it, but I can''t get Xen to boot. It seems unable to find the root volume, the kernel panics and reboots immediately so I can''t capture or write down anything and I

HI, i have updatete to 6.1-PRERELEASE and after the "installworld" step GRUB is unable to boot FreeBSD. After i did the installworld and rebooted the GRUB error was: 23 : Error while parsing number I have reinstalled the standard FreeBSD loader for now. Booting with a GRUB boot-floppy i am able to start either XP or Linux but trying to start FreeBSD the system just reboots, no

Hi, I''ve installed xen-2.0.5 from source on gentoo, but the xen dom0 kernel doesn''t find the root device: ############################# snip ###################################### Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (3,3) ############################# snap ###################################### grub.conf: ############################# snip

Hey guys, what I am trying to do is a chainload into grub2 installation in a DomU. So far I determined, PV-GRUB does not understand grub2''s grub.cfg notation. So I created a dummy menu.lst which has the needed root kernel and initrd rows and then referenced this to the DomUs config. The main intention to do this, is to be able to use kernel upgrades without touching the menu.lst for

I''ve seen this happen before, not sure why. I changed ''phy:'' to ''file:'' and it worked. I later rebooted and ''phy:'' worked again. So you might try ''file:'' rather than ''phy:''. -- Ray -----Original Message----- From: xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com
