Fwd: Fwd: Problem with boot loader

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

 




Over the years, I've installed Solaris/SolarisExpress, every kind of BSD as well as almost ever Linux distro that's out there and never have I had a problem like this.

Is there some known bug about installing Fedora on a drive other than the Primary Master?

This time I installed the boot loader on the first sector of the boot partition - /dev/sdb1

I then installed an entry in XOSL to point to/dev/sdb1, booted from it and got a screen full of blinking colorful ascii chars.

It really doesn't work.

Can someone tell me what's going on - Please?

I'm going to try to re-install FC12. Has anybody got a suggestion before I start?

Hi all,

I have 2 SATA drives - Windows on the sda and have just installed FC12 
on sdb. I installed
the boot loader on sdb.

Now, I'm using the XOSL boot manager (installed on its own dedicated 
primary partition
on sda).

If I change the boot sequence in the BIOS to boot from the disk that has 
the Fedora install
on it, it boots fine but if I try to boot from XOSL, I just get a black 
screen with the cursor
flashing in the top left corner. Does anyone know what's going on and 
how to fix it?

Regards,
Steve Laurie
