install issues w/64 bit fedora core4

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



All.
I just installed fedora core 4 - 64bit using the instructions from:
http://stanton-finley.net/fedora_core_4_installation_notes.html

I partitioned a new hard drive (400 GB) for Linux using the manual mode in the install for a dual boot.
Here are the drives on my box:

Drive 0  SATA 0  -- 160 GB  this is my C:drive where windows XP is at.
Drive 1 SATA 1 -- 400 GB this is where linux is (this was my I: in windows)
Drive 2  PATA 0 (Ide1) -- 120 GB -- this my D:drive

using the df comand in linux I get:
[root@localhost grub]# df
Filesystem        1K-blocks      Used       Available  Use%  Mounted on
/dev/sdb1    378473076  7872052  351065584   3%     /
/dev/shm        2002000             0     2002000    0%    /dev/shm

Which brings me to my issues:

1) I can not boot windows XP - I just get a black screen with a blinking curser? As well as during the boot-up sequence I now have three options, instead of just Windows and Linux, which is what I thought? Have I don something wrong? What can I do to get windows to come back?

Here is what the grub.config file states:

[root@localhost grub]# more grub.conf
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.
#          root (hd1,0)
#          kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sdb1
#          initrd /boot/initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd1,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
#hiddenmenu

	kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp ro root=LABEL=/
	initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp.img

title Windows
	rootnoverify (hd2,0)
	chainloader +1
[root@localhost grub]#


2) I am not able to access the web in linux?
here is what my /etc/hosts file states:

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1		localhost.localdomain localhost


Any help would be welcomed.

Thanks in advanced
