HMM Fedora Addition problems

#1 Post by Solaris17 » Mon Aug 31, 2009 8:13 pm

So Ubuntu and DSL upgrades went fine...however fedora wont play nice.


Now i downloaded fedora 11 and i made a "Fedora" folder at the root of my disk.

i then copied the dir from the fedora iso and put them in this "Fedora" folder.

After that i looked at fedoras isolinux.cfg and added the lines to my "linux.cfg" to get it to boot.

Here is fedoras isolinux.cfg

Code: Select all

default vesamenu.c32
timeout 100

You (probably) can't make a subdirectory in the root of your disk, if in the original iso the files and directories are the following in root: /EFI, /isolinux, ...)
You can try this (didn't try it myself, just a guess):
label fedora
menu label Boot Fedora 11
kernel /EFI/vmlinuz0
append initrd=/EFI/initrd0.img root=CDLABEL=UBCD411 rootfstype=auto ro liveimg quiet rhgb
Adapt UBCD411 in "root=CDLABEL=UBCD411" to the right volume label for your iso.

wouldnt it be "/EFI/isolinux"? or do i not specify that much? i havent tried your way yet i will im working on somnething else atm however. i was just curious. should i leave the dir of the fedora iso intact or should i pull all them and have them in the root of the EFI folder?

I was basing the path to vmlinuz0 and initrd0.img on the command that you had:
KERNEL /Fedora/EFI/vmlinuz0
I didn't download Fedoro myself.

You can leave the vmlinuz0 and initrd0.img file in the directory where they are now or you can move them to another directory. The only files of a linux distro that you can always put in any directory of your preference are the kernel and initrd (or initramfs). So you can put them in /bla/bla/bla too, if you really want. Other files can not always been moved to a location of your choice (depends on the distro and the available cheatcodes).
