SuSE has grub, but it loads the wrong kernel for Fedora...

English Install/Boot/Login

It’s a Fedora pre-upgrade kernel, that loads at re-boot. Unless the GRUBloader ain’t pointin’ to it, of course. Grug is with SuSE, and I need to change the menu entry. What will it be?

This is menu from Fedora’s own loader:

grub.conf generated by anaconda

Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file

NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that

all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.

root (hd0,3)

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda4

initrd /boot/initrd-version.img

#boot=/dev/sda
default=1
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,3)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu

initrd /boot/upgrade/initrd.img

root (hd0,3)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.23.1-42.fc8 ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.23.1-42.fc8.img

If it’s working properly, Grub in Suse actually just points not to any specific kernel entry in Fedora, but rather to the whole menu.

Effectively, you should just see and entry Fedora in the suse grub. When Fedora is selected, it should load the Fedora menu.

Of course, by default, the Fedora menu loads whatever is set as default quite quickly, so if you want to change what it boots, move the down arrow quickly.

I added root to the entry:

title Upgrade to Fedora 10 (Cambridge)
root (hd3,0)
kernel /boot/upgrade/vmlinuz preupgrade repo=hd::/var/cache/yum/preupgrade stage2=hd:UUID=cc9cedeb-1f14-4cf7-8b4e-ce05acd8c4e7:/boot/upgrade/install.img ks=hd:UUID=cc9cedeb-1f14-4cf7-8b4e-ce05acd8c4e7:/boot/upgrade/ks.cfg
initrd /boot/upgrade/initrd.img

How do I thank myself???

Well, you actually get part of the credit there caf. Looking at your post, I saw only the 2 entries in the top of the screen. That’s when I saw it…
