I just installed fedora Core6 and now I can't boot up the system.
I have a dual boot system here; winXP on a drive by itself (hda) and fedora
core6 on its own drive (hdb).
After things were installed with grub as my default boot manager I can't
get into fedora 6 at all. A boot takes me right into windows with no
stopping at the grub process.
To try and get this working I have tried doing a 'reinstall' of core6 but
even though the process said it was installing grub all over again, it
never appeared.
And than I thought of using the rescue disk and trying to get things going
that way. And that failed. But here is what I had done..
Fedora Core6 rescue disk - boot.
ran chroot /mnt/sysimage
Than I ran grub-install /dev/hda, and that gave me "/dev/hda does not have
any corresponding BIOS drive.
So I ran grub-install again but used /dev/hdb with the same result
. /dev/hdb is my core6 installation drive.
I even ran grub-install /dev/hdb1 and /dev/hda1 all with the same result:
"/dev/hdX does not have any corresponding BIOS drive."
That leaves me at a standstill with no way to get into my Fedora
installation. Is there a way using the resuce disk to boot into core6?
I don't know there is a way, but if there is that would be nice to know.
The bottom line is - what is wrong with the grub installation process that
it won't write anything to anything to get the system to dual boot.??
