HELP!! Installed ubuntu, can't boot fedora

[townesgs]

Wife generated problem.

Accidentally (how, I do not know) installed ubuntu onto sdb. I can no longer boot to fedora 7 on sda. These are my only two partitions and I have only ubuntu options in the grub boot loader menu.

Please help. I have searched, but I am not able to understand the posts I found :confused:

Ubuntu probably installed it's own GRUB? You need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to add a Fedora boot option. This is simple but there's several steps you need to take. Boot into Ubuntu. Open Fedora's /boot/grub/menu.lst and copy the first section. You need the first 4 lines, looking like this:
title Fedora (2.6.22.1-41.fc7)
root (hd0,5)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22.1-41.fc7 ro root=LABEL=/1 vga=788
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.22.1-41.fc7.img
Open Ubuntu's /boot/grub/menu.lst and paste that text into the file. Save and exit. Reboot into Fedora.

If you don't know how to do this then start by posting the output of the command sudo /sbin/fdisk -l and we can go from there.

I'll give it a shot.

I'm having trouble mounting my fedora partition in unbuntu.

mount -t ??? /dev/sda1 /media/fedora

It keeps asking for partition/format type. I have no clue

ubuntu crapped itself. I loaded fedora 7 onto sdb. The grub still boots to sdb and does not recognize the LVM on sda. I would like to boot sda.

Here are my results from fdisk -l

Boot in rescue mode FC7

chroot /mnt/sysimage

grub --install /dev/sda


Ad your unbuntu kernel option in /boot/grub/grub.conf

That worked. =) Hoooray.

Wil the my retarded feeling go away as I become more familiar with the linux world?

Thanks everyone!
