I am experimenting happily with F16, but I am unable to add F15 to the grub2 boot menu.

When I start the computer and select the (c)ommand line in grub, I am able to enter: set root=(hd0,7) linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.40.3-0.fc15.x86_64 root=/dev/sda7 ro quiet etc etc etc etc etc rd.xxxx=0 etc etc etc initrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.40.3-0.fc15.x86_64.img and then type boot, I am able to boot F15 without problem. Entering the same into the grub.cfg file doesn't work. How can I get a F15 menu entry in grub.cfg? -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/testWell, F16 has grub2 according to your mail. I recently upgraded my main machine to grub2 as well and I have the following entry to boot my Fedora 15, which still has legacy grub, on a separate partition via: ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/40_custom ### # This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type the # menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change # the 'exec tail' line above. menuentry "Fedora (2.6.40-4.fc15.i686)" { recordfail=1 if [ -n ${have_grubenv} ]; then save_env recordfail; fi insmod ext2 set root=(hd0,3) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 93f664e9-9013-47b4-b5d8-1239af7c0605 linux /vmlinuz-2.6.40-4.fc15.i686 ro root=/dev/mapper/vg_myfedora15-lv_root rd_LVM_LV=vg_myfedora15/lv_root rd_LVM_LV=vg_myfedora15/lv_swap rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYTABLE=us rhgb quiet initrd /initramfs-2.6.40-4.fc15.i686.img }
my grub.cfg (using chainloader) entry for F15 (after installing grub2 in F15 and installing then in F15 the grub2 bootloader to /dev/sda7):
menuentry 'Fedora 15' --class fedora --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
set root=(hd0,7) chainloader +1 } This works on my box Kind regards Joachim Backes <joachim.backes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> http://www.rhrk.uni-kl.de/~backes
