boot problems pro liant 380 g4 + fedora core 3

iTA - Global VMS — Mon, 06 Dec 2004 03:13:13 GMT

hi everybody,

i've installed fc3 on an pro liant 380 g4 (dual cpu, 1 x raid1 36gb, 1 x raid1 72gb) succesfully, but now, the server always tries to boot from c: (and hangs there).
i know that is because the default os-selection is windows, but if i try to change this in the bios, it tells me, that os selection (for supported os) is not necesary on this server. for unsupported os i should try to disable something in the advanced options (i can't remember exactly). i did it, but i still can't boot it ...

any idea's?

regards
reinhard

of cause you booted failed,but why did u change this in the bios?why not grub or lilo? Has any relation with boot and bios?
now you can only do is check grub or lilo.And the default boot should be linux,not windows?

HI,

first - new server work whit all O/S nad you do not need to choose OS from bios.
I think that you miss or misconfig boot manager.
You can start install and make upgrade.

anywayyour bios can not boot from C: :)
Only boot manager can do it.
Bios only show boot device :) and after that boot manger set partition for boot

thank's,

you are right. i re-installed grub and everything works fine.
nevertheless, something is strange. i installed a second server, and this time i had an eye on the grub. i made everything right, but i had the same troubles ...
