I just installed fedora 10 using the GUI install, and when I try to boot, it gets me to the grub command line kernel must be loaded before booting red hat grub> when i enter 'boot', it gives me grub error 8: kernel 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"

Reading FAQ & Readme First is recommended for new users.It seem that GRUB cannot find the menu file. Some information about the http://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=17276 disk configuration you used for the installation might help. To debug try the following at the GRUB prompt and see what is returned:Code: Select allfind /boot/grub/stage1
find /grub/stage1You could also try booting from installation media in rescue mode to see if you may need to reinstall GRUB.

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 inst
