I tried to install FC4 to correct my GRUB problem, but the problem
continues, I boot up on rescue mode, and I did
chroot /mnt/sysimage, after I did
sh-3.00# nano /boot/grub/grub.conf and I modified the file as follows
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd1,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title GNU/linux Fedora Core 4(2.6.11-1.1369_FC4)
root (hd1,0)
kernel /initrd-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.img
title Windows 2000
rootnoverify(hd0,0)
chainloader +1
I am getting error 13: "Invalid or unsupported executable format
Press any to continue
with command whereis kernel, it reports /usr/src/linux-2.4.18.14/kernel
Can anyone post the grub file for FC4 with windows and linux, as I told I
have two HD prim master for windows and prim slave for linux, Is any way to
force FC4 to install a fresh copy of linux?, with synaptics I installed
kernel 2.6.11-1.35_FC3 (It's what I found)
Thanks
