Night Runner,

I've been dealing with grub entries myself today and ended up finding an approach that worked for me, maybe it'll work for you. See http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=226027

OK, how about posting the result of this?

Code:

su -c '/sbin/fdisk -l'

Oh yeah, I already asked for that

that bit supposed to have .img on end, I'm typing everything out since it on other machine without internet

Code:

config-2.6.29.4-167.fcll.i586

memtest86+-2.11
elf-memtest86+-2.11
system.map-2.6.29.4-167.fcll.i586

vmlinuz-2.6.29.4-167.fcll.i586
initrd-2.6.29.4-167.fcll.i586.img
vmlinuz-2.6.30

leigh123linux · #21 10th July 2009, 12:06 AM

Try generating a initrd .img

This is a example of the syntax

Code:

su -
mkinitrd -v -f /boot/initrd-2.6.29.4-167.fc11.x86_64.img 2.6.29.4-167.fc11.x86_64

Try

Code:

su -
mkinitrd -v -f /boot/initrd-2.6.30.img   2.6.30

and change the grub entry to

Code:

title Fedora new (2.6.30)
    root (hd0,2)
    kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.30 ro root=/dev/mapper/vg_fedoracov-lv_root rhgb quiet
    initrd /initrd-2.6.30.img

Night Runner · #22 10th July 2009, 03:51 PM

ok that created the .img I didn't have but I am still getting error 17 on boot, cannot mount the selected partition

    kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.30 ro root=/dev/mapper/vg_fedoracov-lv_root rhgb quiet
    initrd /initrd-2.6.30

Also there is a mistake in you grub.conf

Try

Code:

    initrd /initrd-2.6.30.img

Night Runner · #25 10th July 2009, 04:33 PM

ok for blkid

Code:

/dev/sda1: UUID="0235e44d-60ff-4573-9ddc-401675d0c9e3" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3"
/dev/sda2: UUIC="r3w63H-cVt1-3UYi-U4kk-Bufr-iJ41-a1VqUB" TYPE="lvm2pv"
/dev/dm-0: LABEL="Fedora-11-i686-L" UUID="817a5718-30de-46d3-afba-3a0563d4e96f" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/dm-1: UUID="a2811995-3e11-41ee-bd2b-120c8d6368ee" TYPE="swap"

What is the different between menu.lst and grub.conf?
for both I have the root set toroot (hd0,1) and have the .img in it, I'll try it as (hd0,0) see what happens

Night Runner · #26 10th July 2009, 04:40 PM

having the root set to (hd0,0) made it boot slightly there was a message saying

Code:

failed to get NUMA memory information from SRAT table
vxge:copyright(c) 2002-2009 Neterion Inc
vxge: Driver version: 2.0.1.17129-k
end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0

after it disappeared it started to boot fedora breifly then nothing but blank screen after

leigh123linux · #27 10th July 2009, 05:20 PM

OK, change it to

Code:

title Fedora new (2.6.30)
    root (hd0,0)
    kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.30 ro root=/dev/mapper/vg_fedoracov-lv_root 
    initrd /initrd-2.6.30.img

And post the errors

Night Runner · #28 10th July 2009, 05:29 PM

Code:

Is there anything before this ?

Code:

I believe this is a acpi error

Try

Code:

title Fedora new (2.6.30)
    root (hd0,0)
    kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.30 ro root=/dev/mapper/vg_fedoracov-lv_root  acpi=off
    initrd /initrd-2.6.30.img

Night Runner · #30 10th July 2009, 06:15 PM

nothing before

Code:

failed to get NUMA memory information from SRAT table

fedora loads for about 2 seconds then blanks screens

ok adding acpi=off helped load for a bit, started up for a while then stopped at

Code:

mounting sysfs filesystem
creating /dev
end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
creating initial dives nodes
end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
