Hi Chris, For my tests right now, I'm simply trying to get dual Centos up/running, Based on what you've said, there are errors in what I'm trying to accomplish. You wouldn't have a few mins to walk me through this would you. I'm convinced that this is doable, and that whatever mistakes I've made are probably subtle/easy to correct. Do you happen to know of a good tutorial for this that walks through all the steps.

You have two / on sda, VolGroup/lv_root and VolGroup-lv2_root. I have no idea what "same as the 1st" means because boot on rootfs is not the same thing as CentOS install #1 which uses a separate /boot on sda1. > > > >> >> title Centos2 (2.6.32-431.e16.x86_64) >> root (hd0,1) > > This is pointing to /dev/sda2 which is LVM. /boot cannot be on LVM using grub legacy, so in fact you ought to use a single shared /boot since they're the same distro. > > >> kernel /vmlinux-2.6.32-431.e16.x86_64 ro root=/dev/sda2 > > The root= entry is completely wrong, you're pointing gruby to an LVM PV rather than to the specific 2nd install root LV. > > Chris Murphy > -- > users mailing list > users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe or change subscription options: > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users > Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct > Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > Have a question?
