RedHat on my laptop

Beatnik on 2005-04-07T13:07:08

I reformatted my hard disk 2 weeks ago so I could get some linux flavor on it besides the XP that came along. My disk is recognized as SCSI devices and the more recent flavors of Red Hat repartition using Logical Volumes. It installed OK but I still have to do the GRUB trick where I copy boot files to my windows disk and edit boot.ini. I got about halfway and already get the GRUB menu.. but then it realizes I didn't configure the paths correctly :( Since it's all quite funky hardware, I'm not entirely sure how this will work... I choose a bad time to lend my RH CDs to one of my co-workers. All my bootable CDs seem to have disappeared and my CD writer spews non-bootable CDs :(


Check your BIOS

Make sure that CD is on the boot list (and before anything else with boot sectors).

Reminding people of the obvious since 1986...
