way working fine.Īny suggestions how solve issue? maybe ubuntu should first tasks before normal restart, start kexec. Kexec configured in way make quick restart means of when press shut down -> restart. grub4dos 0.4.4 can reach menu, font squeezed, input disabled. have menu.lst, grldr on c: drive, 1 string in boot.ini there. I didn't make changes in mbr or partition boot sector grub4dos. tried -reset-vga option of kexec, tried -append='.' option pass same content of menu.lst grun4dos parameter. It doesn't hang because if wait 10-20 seconds, 1 more phrase appears "if hangup, use 'geometry -lba1sector (120)' beginning of preset menu." font squeezed vertically, see 1 copy of same phrases on right. Kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.23.1-42.I execute sudo kexec -l /sbin/grub.exe sudo kexec -eĪnd black screen phrases. # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file Please let me know what I am doing wrong.
Grub4dos boot ubuntu windows#
How can I get grub to boot the Windows hard drive? The way I have grub setup is listed below. When I try to boot windows from the grub boot menu it goes to a black text screen and says the path is unknown or unsupported. The only way I can boot the Windows XP hard drive is to switch to the boot menu on startup and select the Windows drive to boot from. Now I am having a real problem getting the Grub to boot the Windows XP on the new hard drive. I have repaired the windows XP and it is now working on the new system.

So I took the hard drive out of it and added to my larger system that has Fadora 8 Ware Wolf.

I’d like to quote a comment on a relevant website here for future reference: I should emphasize the importance of the first step, i.e. Kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-10-generic root=/dev/sda5 ro single Title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.17-10-generic (recovery mode) Kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-10-generic root=/dev/sda5 ro quiet splash Here is the contents of the resulting file (showing only the uncommented lines) …and the second option is automatically selected and boots-up after 10 seconds if I don’t do anything.
