Okay, I had installed FC5 on my harddrive using pretty much the default
options, then (much later) I put in a second hard-drive and decided to
install Windows I deleted the First small petition on the first hard drive
and everything else on the second and installed Windows. [For some reason it
didn't work, so I gave up on windows.] Thats when I realized I couldn't boot
Fedora anymore. I tried searching for a way to reinstall GRUB (such as the
rescue disk and so forth) eventually I just reinstalled Fedora Core 5 on the
second Hard Disk. Now I have GRUB back but it only boots the second FC5
instilation. What I need is to be able to boot the First instillation on the
First Hard Disk. Here's my setup:
[parted output]
Using /dev/hda
(parted) print
Disk geometry for /dev/hda: 0kB - 21GB
Disk label type: msdos
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 32kB 107MB 107MB primary ext3
2 107MB 21GB 20GB primary boot, lvm
Using /dev/hdb
(parted) print
Disk geometry for /dev/hdb: 0kB - 14GB
Disk label type: msdos
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 32kB 14GB 14GB primary boot, lvm
[/parted output]
My Grub.conf in /boot/grub
(NOTE: I added "FC5")
[grub.conf]
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.

# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=1
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz

title Fedora Core (2.6.15-1.2054_FC5)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 ro root=/dev/VolGroup01/LogVol00 rhgb
quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.img
title FC5
root (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.img
[/grub.conf]
When I boot "FC5" It displays several errors then says something like
"Kernal panic". (I can figure out what else it's saying if it would help. .
.)
Fedora's default in Logical Volumes (right?).
So how do I get my old instillation to boot? Thanks so much for any help!
