Fedora 8 dual boot with ubuntu 8

hi to all

please visit link below to know my full prob......


http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...=1#post5075836





i installed it on /dev/sdb7 from ubuntu


but as i told you when i isntalled fedora which was my 1st time with linux so what i did what... i remove internal harddrive and install it so there will be only one harddrive thats my ext hard drive...now i am not having any problem with my existing fedora or any with my internal windows harddrive

so what i did is i install ubuntu in gui mode select hardisk in mannual mode then select harddisk sdb7 which is actually sda 7 according to fedora i recheck it with gparted in fedora as well as with fdisk -l its same sda 7 i also seen ubuntu file contents on sda7


those grub entery is done my me manually

title Ubuntu (2.6.24-16)
root (hd0,6)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-16-generic root=/dev/sda7
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-16-generic



one more thing at the end of gui install i go to advance and uncheck bootloader at that bootloader its was showing (hd0) entry by defualt but i didnt install bootloader i uncheck it. now i am having all my fedora kernel working fine and grub working fine just dont understand how to add ubuntu entery sda7 in grub of fedora and how to make ubuntu drive auto mounted

my ubuntu boot (sda7) folder contains following files

abi-2.6.24-16-generic
config-2.6.24-16-generic
initrd.img-2.6.24-16-generic
initrd.img-2.6.24-16-generic.bak
memtest86+.bin
System.map-2.6.24-16-generic
vmlinuz-2.6.24-16-generic

just 7 of these files......no grub installed



this is my menu.lst entery of fedora grub also have same entery


title Upgrade to Fedora 9 (Sulphur)
kernel /upgrade/vmlinuz preupgrade lang=en_US.UTF-8 keymap=us stage2=hd:sda1:/upgrade/stage2.img method=ftp://fedora.glug-nith.org/linux/releases/9/Fedora/x86_64/os
initrd /upgrade/initrd.img
title Fedora (2.6.24.7-92.fc
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.24.7-92.fc8 ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.24.7-92.fc8.img
title Fedora (2.6.23.9-85.fc
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.23.9-85.fc8 ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.23.9-85.fc8.img
title Other
rootnoverify (hd0,4)
chainloader +1

i remove all ubuntu enteries which i made mannualy i have back up of this grub






i think i done some wrong entery

and in case of mounting i dont know i install it in gui mode i guss all the trouble is its not mounted auto because its shows no file (/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-16-generic root=/dev/sda7) found

i also tried /vmlinuz-2.6.24-16-generic root=/dev/sda7 but same results no file found those entery i done it mannualy its not taken by fedora

my fedora boot is (h0,0)


fedora boot drive

/boot sda1

fedora root drive
/sda3

ubuntu root drive
/sda 7

in ubuntu i didnt load bootloader and installed it in gui mode so i dont know if it is auto mount on boot or not but i guss its not becoz i dont see any ubuntu in fstab of fedora so i need help to enter what is fstab to make it auto mount
