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 kernel must be loaded before booting centos must be loaded before booting. Not sure how to fix 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

Thanks for viewing my blog. The alternate solution is as follows: 1. boot from cdrom and select the option 6 which is a single user mode. 2.If your root file system is svm or vxvm then proceed with unencapsulation and try running installgrub and update the boot-archive. 3. update the boot path in /boot/solaris/bootenv.rc and proceed with reboot Probabaly this could resolve your issue.

Numbers Grub4dos Error Numbers Please see the FAQ and TroubleShooting pages too. Here is an interpretation of the grub4dos error codes (they may not be 100% correct but may help). 1 : Filename must be either an absolute filename or blocklist This error is returned if a file name is requested which doesn't fit the syntax/rules listed in the section Filesystem syntax and semantics. 2 : Bad file or directory type This error is returned if a file requested is not a regular file, but something like a symbolic link, directory, or FIFO. 3 : Bad or corrupt data while decompressing file This error is returned if the run-length decompression code gets an internal error. This is usually from a corrupt file. 4 : Bad or incompatible header in compressed file This error is returned if the file header for a supposedly compressed file is bad. 5 : Partition table invalid or corrupt This error is returned if the sanity checks on the integrity of the partition table fail. This is a bad sign. 6 : Mismatched or corrupt version of stage1/stage2 This error is returned if the install command is pointed to incompatible or corrupt versions of the stage1 or stage2. It can't detect corruption in general, but this is a sanity check on the version numbers, which should be correct. 7 : Loading below 1MB is not supported This error is returned if the lowest address in a kernel is below the 1MB boundary. The Linux zImage format is a special case and can be handled since it has a fixed loading address and maximum size. 8 : Kernel must be loaded before booting This error is returned if GRUB is told to execute the boot sequence without having a kernel to start. 9 : Unknown boot failure This error is returned if the boot attempt did not succeed for reasons which are unknown. 10 : Unsupported Multiboot features requested This error is returned when the Multiboot features word in the Multiboot header requires a feature that is not recognized. The point of this is that the kernel requires special handling which GRUB is likely unable
