Whoops!!!! My bad, I didn't realize that file storage site required a login. Sorry about that.

Hi all,

I apologize for my frankness, and probably posting in the wrong section. It's been years since I last visited the Ubuntu forums.

I am what you would call a Debian enthusiast. For many...

Thanks Fred for that link, he had a very similar problem.

I really do appreciate everyone that helped me with this!

I hope others benefit from this thread. I sure did.

Got it!

I deleted the insmod line and the search line. Also, the initrd line had the word "initrd" twice whoops.

Here's the final that works:


set root='(hd0,1)'

Thanks, I actually stumbled upon that right before you posted.


linux /vmlinuz-2.6.18-128.1.10.el5 ro root=/dev/sda3 noapic

It doesn't like /dev/sda3, says bad block, but it does like...

Argh... so close.

I moved a computer next to the server. I'm sitting at the server, hitting 'e' to edit the boot command line, and trying anything I can think of. The error message never...

We are getting close.

It boots CentOS, makes it down to:

Please append a correct "root=" boot option

Excellent. Thanks Fred, I'll give that a try, and let you know. I'm out and about at the moment, will be a couple hours.

I appreciate your efforts on this.

Thanks James, I was hoping to avoid anything custom, but in this case, it probably will be required. I'm just not sure what to do.



Yes indeed.



Thanks, nice script! Here is the...

Hi James,

Thanks for the suggestions. I moved the grub.cfg file, and re-ran the "grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg", and in the file it generated, no mention of CentOS, even though it detected...

Hi,

Sorry for the late response, and thanks for the reply.

No luck with update-grub2 either :(

I have a few more test servers I want to build, but I'm not going to do it until this is...

Okay, this is starting to tick me off.

I've been studying this thread:

and reading this site:...

no ideas?

Hi all,

I installed 64-bit 10.4 LTS side by side with CentOS, and after install done, grub only showing ubuntu.

I ran 'os-prober' and it detects my CentOS install.

I ran 'update-grub' and it...

Alex, I'm starting to like you :) Send me your resume.

Yes, sudo has it's uses. As the IT Director, I've authorized sudo permissions for my lead engineers, mainly when they tell me so ;), one...

Sorry to hear that. Linux is capable of some pretty powerful stuff. Some day, you'll get the urge to build a server such as this:

Sorry boys and girls, I see where this is going. I'm sure some of you do to. Not all of us here administer networks with a mixture of hosts and servers, some of them UNIX/Linux based.

Give me...

'sudo' and 'su -' do completely different things? Are you kidding me? Gee, I want this command to run as root, which way do I go?

Don't confuse technique with enabler. From an implementation...

Thank you for the honest response. This whole thread is nonsense?

LOL You can't leave it at that. I don't understand your disdain for the thread. Please clarify. Do NOT confuse your post...

You wasted our time reading that nonsense. What exactly was your point?

When it's required? When is sudo required? I can't think of even one example. When do you consider sudo required?

I know what some of you are thinking. I'm not trying to start some stupid...

Sorry, my bad. I should be more specific. Let me rephrase this:

When you need to execute a command that requires root privileges, what do you TYPICALLY do, not what you prefer (be honest here):...

Yes. Exactly.

Thank you for clarifying. I should have been more specific.

Hi all,

I apologize to the moderators. I was looking for feedback from a more active topic group, but I should have thought better. My bad. Still, I'd appreciate your responses to this too! ...

How much do you rely on sudo?
