Re: Instalation problem Debian, Fedora Windows
It shouldn't matter that Fedora and Windows are already installed, so
long as your Debian installation didn't overwrite either. You'll just
have to add the Fedora entry to your
/boot/grub/menu.lst
file.
You'll probably have to do this manually, with a text editor, but give the
update-grub
script a chance, then check your menu.lst file to see if update-grub
changed anything.
If update-grub worked, great. If not, have no fear. To find out the
partitions on your hard drives, execute (as root)
fdisk -l
This will tell you the partition structure of your disk(s). From here,
you simply add the appropriate lines to grub:
title Fedora Core 4
/* x is the hard drive of Fedora's /boot, y is the partition number of
/boot (starting from zero). For example, if Fedora's /boot directory is
located on hda1, then the corresponding line is root (hd0,0). If
Fedora's boot is on /dev/hdc3, then you need root (hd2,2). */
root (hdx,y)
kernel <path to kernel> root=<device of kernel> ro
initrd <path to initrd file (usually /boot/initrd.img-foo)
savedefault
boot
Hope this helps, and let us know what problems you run into along the way.
