I've been trying to get Linux dual booting with either Kubuntu 8.10 beta or Fedora 10 beta with a variety of methods using EasyBCD. No dice so far.
I have a Lenovo X60 laptop and it's partitioned like this:
Partition1: 200MB system partition (D: )
Partition2: 60GB Windows Vista partition (C: )
Partition3: 60GB Windows Vista partition (E:, yes, I have two Vista installs)
Partition4: 60GB Fedora 10 ext3
Fedora has GRUB installed to the partition4 boot sector (not the MBR.)
Currently I have EasyBSD set up with entries for both Grub and NeoGrub. Neither of them work. They look like this:
Entry #3
Name: Fedora 10
BCD ID: {8c520103-9b33-11dd-b86b-0016d3b65483}
Drive: D:\
Bootloader Path: \NST\nst_grub-FB2AED1828478DBDE897F45C1FDC7466.mbr
Entry #4
Name: NeoGrub Bootloader
BCD ID: {8c520106-9b33-11dd-b86b-0016d3b65483}
Drive: D:\
Bootloader Path: \NST\NeoGrub.mbr
The NeoGrub config looks like this:
title Fedora
root (hd0,3)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-0.352.rc7.git1.fc10.1686 ro root=/dev/sda4
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.27-0.352.rc7.git1.fc10.i686.img
Trying to boot with Grub I get the error:
BootPart 2.60 Bootsector...
Loading new partition
Bootsector from C.H. ...
Cannot load from harddisk.
Insert Systemdisk and press any key.
With NeoGrub I get:
Booting command-list
root (hd0,3)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x6
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-0.352.rc7.git1.fc10.i686 ro root=/dev/sda4
Error 2: Bad file or directory type
Press any key to continue...
I booted off the Fedora disc in recovery mode, mounted the linux partition, and ensured that I had the boot image names exactly right and they match up.
I reapeated almost all this with Kubuntu 8.10 and got the exact same results.
Any advice?
