Dear Sir or Madam,
Having installed and reinstalled Fedora Core 5, my grub load
er simply will not boot Fedora, yet will do so for Windows X
P. When trying to load Fedora I get the following response:-
Boot
Uncompressing Linux …
Crc error
--System halted
On first glance it sounds like either a bad drive sector, or a bad
install. Did you do the media check on the FC5 media? A CRC error (short
for cyclic redundancy check) is usually associated with a bad file
copy/corrupt file/bad disk sector issue.
Can anyone please explain what a crc error is and what I can
do about it.
All suggestions gratefully received – I thought of booting
from a floppy but can’t get grub to work via a floppy!
