More specifically, did you previously have one GRUB menu with choices for each of Fedora, WinXP, and Ubuntu? If so, editing the appropriate configuration file, e.g. /boot/grub/grub.conf after using the mount command to make the appropriate /boot partition available, to add a stanza (or group of lines) for Fedora may be all that is needed. Lines which may resemble: -- title Fedora (2.6.32.16-141.fc12.i686) root (hd0,**) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.32.16-141.fc12.i686 ro root=UUID=** noiswmd LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us rhgb quiet initrd /initramfs-2.6.32.16-141.fc12.i686.img -- where the fields "**" above need to be replaced with values matching your installation. You may wish to re-enter rescue mode and record the output from: fdisk -l /dev/sda fdisk -l /dev/sdb ... etc. (until no output) to show how may hard disks are involved, and: blkid to show the number of partitions and partition labels, and share that here to begin sorting out e.g. whether you (1) have and (2) desire to have multiple partitions labeled /boot, or containing a boot manager such as GRUB. > > After booting I never get a usual screen for FEdora12 - where it says > "booting Windows in 5 seconds" for Fedora13 after completed installation > successfully. > I like to inform you that I followed the instructions laid down in > the website > http://dailypackage.fedorabook.com/index.php?/archives/158-System-Recovery-Week-Rescue-Mode-and-Reinstalling-Grub.html > as follows > > chroot /mnt/sysimage > # grub > grub> find /grub/grub.conf > (hd1,2) > grub>root (hd1,2) > > grub>setup(hd1) > succeeded Done. > grub> quit > Rebooted. > > Noticed that no grub or"booting Windows in 5 seconds". was displayed - > Instead bootable winXP and ubuntu are displayed. > As such failed to boot. > Valuable guidance requested.I attempted for more than10 times but still same > problem. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
