PAE / x86-64 on 965g
by javajunkie
Hello,
With a P5B-vm MotherBoard with 4 GB installed and either a PAE enabled
kernel or a x86_64 anaconda install and the memory remap feature enabled
in the BIOS (this is necessary to get above 3gb on the motherboard), my
system either crashes during boot or is very unstable (such as text from
the initial stages of the boot superimposed over the graphical x86_64
boot and the fan suddenly running at top speed and never stopping).
This motherboard is said to work with a win64 system...
Any suggestions on a work around or what information to report so that
it might get fixed?

Grub wont boot Windows?
by Bob Goodwin
I have an FC6 computer that I'm certain worked initially but will not
now boot Windows 2000.
I don't know what more to do other than reinstall Windows and then
that's going to mess the Linux boot process.
Grub.config is:
cat /etc/grub.conf
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,1)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=15
splashimage=(hd0,1)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora Core (2.6.18-1.2849.fc6xen)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /xen.gz-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6
module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6xen ro
root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
module /initrd-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6xen.img
title Fedora Core (2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /xen.gz-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6
module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen ro
root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
module /initrd-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen.img
title Windows 2000 Pro
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

Which looks ok to me. However when I get the splashscreen that asks to
"press any key"
nothing happens? I can press Enter or the Space Bar and it ignores the
keyboard and contiues
conting down until the FC6 boot process begins.
fdisk shows:
fdisk -l /dev/hda
Disk /dev/hda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 2550 20482843+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda2 2551 2563 104422+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda3 2564 9729 57560895 8e Linux LVM
Any thoughts on what to try next are welcome.

Same files, different sizes in different partitions
by Paul Smith
Dear All
In hde2 I have a subset of the set of files in hdb6. However, quite
surprisingly, the used size in hde2 is greater than the used size in
hdb6:
/dev/hdb6 71630968 50686876 20944092 71% /mnt/mandriva
/dev/hde2 74770560 55040436 15931960 78% /mnt/montado
How can it be?!
Thanks in advance,
Paul
