Cant install GRUB fails on IBM intel xeon server with scsiraid

location: ubuntuforums.com - date: February 19, 2010
Im trying to install ubuntu on an IBM server with intel xeon processor and scsi raid, the server was previously running MS Win Server 2003 (I never use that MS rubbush just crashes 20 times a day) anyway problem is when it comes to installing the GRUB bootloader, it just failes and keeps reverting back to the install menu, I tried several times to install GRUB but failed each time. Anyway I can get around this? im not experienced too much with this, so wouldnt know what could be causing it, im assuming its possible the boot record is somehow write protected? Ubuntu doesnt support intel Xeon processors? I have tried both the i386 and amd64 install ISO's of Ubuntu server without success, any help would be appreciated. Im currently running Ubuntu server amd64 on an old amd machine and is running very stable unlike windows which used to be on the same machine

Cant install bugzilla on Centos using YUM

location: linuxquestions.com - date: May 3, 2008
Hi All I purchased a dedicated CentOS server from GoDaddy, the repos where busted I corrected them to use the CentOS repos and I added the rpmforge repo. When I try to install a package I get this amongst other things Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Excluding Packages from CentOS-5 - Base Finished Excluding Packages from CentOS-5 - Updates Finished Excluding Packages from CentOS-5 - Plus Finished Excluding Packages from CentOS-5 - Addons Finished Excluding Packages from CentOS-5 - Extras Finished Parsing package install arguments Is it normal to exclude pacakages for CentOS ? I enabled them all using enabled=1 and I even tried with enablerepo. My current problem is that yum install bugzilla returns nothing to do. I really would like to install bugzilla using yum Thanks

[SOLVED] Grub/ Grub2/ Lilo can´t install any of them properly!

location: linuxquestions.com - date: November 15, 2010
I usually install grub straight away after an install but this time it hasn´t worked for some reason after installing 13.1 on a new lappy. I have tried grub, grub2 (from sbo) and lilo; nothing I install into MBR will boot my slackware installation, I have to use the boot USB stick every time. grub-legacy would be my preferred one so i´ll ask for help specifically with that. This is what i´m doing so far - Code:

cant install xp and ubuntu on separate sata drives

location: linuxquestions.com - date: March 3, 2009
I'm having serious problems with this. I've started over from scratch several times, and don't know how to proceed. My latest attempt. 1) install winxp on 1st sata drive 2) install ubuntu on 2nd sata drive - with grub on hd0 (1st drive) Then I try the grub option for winxp, and I get Code: Windows could not start because the below file is missing or corrupt: C:\Winnt\System32\Ntoskrnl.exe my google searches reveal that this is due to a missing or corrupt boot.ini file. So then I load the windows install disk for repair ("R" option), do a "fixboot" and "fixmbr", which gets windows to boot, but overwrites grub Then I go to ubuntu livecd and do some grub magic, per instructions from googling, and get grub back. But it still won't load windows, I get the same error as above. So I tried using the windows XP bootloader by dd'g the grub mbr and copying to windows c drive and modifying the boot.ini. When I try this option and select

cant install new hard drive in kubuntu 7.04

location: linuxquestions.com - date: March 24, 2008
hi im running a amd mobile 1800+ with 726 ram and a 250 g and a 40 g hdd. i installed kubuntu 7.04 on the 40 g disk and then i added linux mce to it because i want a media pc for my theatre i also would like lots of storage on it so i can keep all my movies and music on it and whatever. so i added a 250 g drive as the secondary master it was previously used on a windows machine though not sure if that makes a difference but when i go into the disk manager and click on it and select new and i enter the mount point and device name and then i click ok and it changes the swat drive or the cd drive to the stuff that i entered and doesnt change the drive i want to change. any input would be great cause i really dont know what going on or what im doing. thanks matt
