I just installed fedora 10 using the GUI install, and when I try to boot, it gets me to the grub command line grub> when i enter 'boot', it gives me grub error 8: kernel must be loaded before booting. Not sure how to fix error 8: kernel must be loaded before booting in linux this, any help is appreciated. (I'm pretty new to linux). Also, I used to have fedora 9, and i had an option to boot fedora or 'other', which is windows. How do I go about setting up something similar in this case? EDIT: Also, when I type root, it tells me that the partition (hd2,0) (i assume the one i installed FC10: 3rd hdd, first partition) is an unspecified file system ... I think something happened to grub when it removed my old partition with FC9...

It sounds like you may have upgrade-installed from Fedora 9. Anyway, it happens often enough. I agree with your desire to manually boot the system from that grub> prompt, but you can't just enter "boot" as you found out. You must do that after a couple of other commands (e.g., root, kernel, and initrd). For example, starting with the root command at the grub> prompt... Code: grub> root (hdx,y) You change x & y to the drive & partition o

LinuxForums.org ------------------------------------------ DON'T PANIC This "How To" has been written to address some boot problems that people often find themselves bumping into. It makes use of a number of different techniques to solve the problems (as per usual, Linux has more than one ways of accomplishing the same thing).

I unchecked "add boot" at Step 8 of the current Ubuntu installation, then later used NeoSmart's "EasyBCD" to add Ubuntu into the mix ... and I hope can explain the remainder of this clearly ... Prior to actually doing this Ubuntu installation, I had read a warning about DeskTop's installer not including all the previous GRUB and boot options at Step 8, and that left me concerned about not being able to uncheck "add boot" during the Ubuntu installation. So, I did two "test runs" into the DeskTop installer to see about that, and I did the second one with all of my hard drives disabled ... and then I actually went on through with a temporary/trial installation of Ubuntu on an external drive ... and I report all of that in order to say this: Prior to disabling my drives, the Ubuntu installer saw all of my other operating

I have it burned to a dvd, so I booted the CD, selected to try Ubuntu, then installed inside the "trial" environment. I installed the boot partition as sda6 as /boot, then my root partition was sda7 as /, I made another partition for my home on sda8 as /home. I then made a 4gb swap partition. I did NOT allow it to update, but even when I did allow it to update, the same issue occured. I have another NTFS partition as use as my media partition which is why my boot partition does not start as sda5. Any suggestions, ideas, comments? I'm practically ignorant of Linux, so y'all will have to greatly simplify any suggestions. Thanks in advance! I should also say how I got to this screen. I went to the windows side and set up the boot screen to "see" the Ubuntu boot partition using easyBCD. I then tried to boot to the partition which came up to a command prompt like screen with grub. I typed "boot" and this error message is what occurred.

DistroUbuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus Re: Error 8: Kernel must be loaded before booting I do not know about EasyBCD and that complicates it. EasyBCD uses grub4dos as the boot loader, since Windows does not multi-boot other systems. A few have reported EasyBCD does work, but you may have to fix grub on major updates as it forces grub into a partition w
