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

 



I downloaded Fedora 13 preupgrade which is my /boot directory of my existing Fedora 8 installation.I booted to preupgrade image to start upgrade.I reached a stage where 4installation options were offered.One was to remove completely existing installations ,second was removing existing linux installatios,third was to compress existing Ubuntu 10.04 and the last one was to install on free space.In all the options I was prompted to create boot partition of 500MB.In my existing system I have Win XP on sda1 Mandriva on sda 5,Swap on sda 7,Fedora8 on sda 8 and Data(Fat) on sda 6,Ubuntu 9.1 on sda9,Ubuntu 10.04 on sda10.Grub is on MBR.and no boot partition.

I stopped at this stage and cancelled the upgrade process.Which option I should use so that existing system is not disturbed.I am giving below partition table.

Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x29e129e0

/dev/sda8            3699        4718     8193118+  83  Linux
/dev/sda9            4719        5716     8016403+  83  Linux
/dev/sda10           5717        6748     8284160   83  Linux

Partition table entries are not in disk order .

I follwed procedure for upgrade mentioned in fedora site except I have not filled /boot with filler files.
