Normally there's no probs with installation of Linux on logical
partition. If you have installed linux before, it is recommended to
conserve installed boot manager (choose installing boot manager to
first sector of partition on which fc4 resides instead of MBR). Then
finish your installation, start the old linux (not fc4), mount the
partition of fc4, copy all the files initrd-*, System.map-* and
vmlinuz-* to /boot, modify grub.conf, add FC4 to boot list. And now you
have it work. Example of my grub.conf : # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg. # root (hd0,9) # kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hdb10 # initrd /boot/initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/hdb default=0 timeout=10 splashimage=(hd0,9)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz #hiddenmenu title Fedora Core 3 (2.6.9-1.667) root (hd0,9) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.9-1.667.img # title Fedora Core 4 (2.6.11-1.1177_FC4) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1177_FC4 ro root=/dev/hda2 rhgb quiet initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.11-1.1177_FC4.img # title WindowsXP French (SP1 32bit) rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 # (I've installed GRUB boot loader of MBR of hdb, fc4 (development version) on partion 2 of hda) Good luck and enjoy.

Is there anything else I need to know related to this? |
