Fed 16 and grub

[Pedroski]

I have installed F16 on /dev/sda3 I have F15 on /dev/sda2 and Windows on /dev/sda1 I have a lot of problems with F15, so I thought I'd try F16

F16 rewrote menu.lst, but didn't leave my F15 installation. I want to put it there, but I have problems. The /boot is 512MB part of sda2 as far as I can tell.

How can I call up menu.lst and modify it to boot F15 or F16?

Mainly, menu.lst is not used any more (as F16 uses Grub2 (1.99)).
Instead, you're going to modify /etc/grub.d/4?_custom for personal changes.

On the other hand, you might try to run sudo grub2-update

Or have a look at another thread handling this, as you posted in 'wrong' topic..

Thanks, I'll try that. I see you also have a Toshiba. Do you have any wierd problems? Like the ethernet interface is em?

I just installed F16, but have no internet. If I call up Network connections, there is no tab 'dsl' where I could put my user name and password. I had the same with F15, but I found, if I just install F14 then upgrade, I have dsl. But just from F16 or 15, no dsl, no internet. I have never got wireless to work, it sees the connection ChinaNet-Qqtn, I give the password written on the router, but it never connects. Don't know why.

I reinstalled F15 as F16 has no internet access. I looked at /etc/grub/ but they are scripts. Where can I put the details from my menu.lst so that I can boot from F15 /dev/sda2 or /dev/sda3 = F16

According to what i've read and seen, em is pretty common for wired internet.

Several suggestions go like: Dont upgrade to F15 from F14, do a fresh install.
As i have changed from windows directly to f15, cant tell you anything for certain concerning upgrades.

Is anything listed in the "wired" tab?

If I had an old modem, or a fixed ip I could configure for ip4, like at work, but I don't, and I don't understand why F16 does not recognize a dsl connection. I think it hangs together with Toshiba and an em interface.

Wired doesnt mean its a fix ip, it (can) use dhcp as well.
However, i have a DSL tab on F16.

Again, EM is just a name, could be ANYTHINGELSE and still work.
Try to use/modify the EM thing.

Oh I know wired doesn't have to be fixed, but I also know I can't enter my dsl username and password in the wired tab.

The only way I can get the dsl tab is install Fed 14, then upgrade it with the Fed 15 dvd, You said I should do a clean install. I did that with Fed 16 on /dev/sda3 and I have no internet. Network settings shows no dsl tab.

Lately I just seem to have problems with Fedora. Nothing works properly. You might thnk the hardware is faulty, but it works under F14, and Windows.

I tried a Ubuntu 11 Live CD, and had the same problem, so this is not Fedora 15/16 specific.

Any suggestions??

Stange, i have a toshiba too and do see the dsl tab, in F15 as well as F16.
Have you installed Network-Manager?
