I have Fedora 10 installed on a 2 CPU machine and want to move it to a different 1 CPU machine.
Here is my grub.conf file: (from the SMP machine)
# 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 (hd0,0)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda
default=0
timeout=0

HERE IS MY /etc/fstab: (from the SMP machine)
# /etc/fstab
# Created by anaconda on Wed Jan 7 23:05:18 2009

# Accessible filesystems, by reference, are maintained under ‘/dev/disk’
# See man pages fstab(5), findfs(8), mount(8) and/or vol_id(8) for more info
#
UUID=5dc7b756-abdb-48a0-a679-d3c8d23ac… / ext3 defaults 1 1
UUID=82f4c1b1-8705-4bc6-bb07-40b1e657b… /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
UUID=dc2bac35-8368-4f3a-a934-7b0c0035c… swap swap defaults 0 0
Here’s what I tried to do.
1. swap hard disk with the Fedora 10 OS from the 2 (SMP) CPU machine into the 1 CPU machine.
2. Use the fc10 CD to “Rescue Installed System.”
3. chroot /mnt/sysimage
4. mount /boot
5. uname -r gives me this output: 2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i586
6. mkinitrd /boot/test.img 2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i586
7. I edit grub so that I change default from 0 to 2. Timeout from 0 to 10. I place third entry at the bottom (I could have put it at the top and kept default=0 instead of 2). How would I write that entry correctly. I think I’m messing up the grub.conf perhaps. The UUID numbers are confusing me. Which fstab UUID entry do I use in grub.conf? All help is appreciated. When I do the above as best I could and I select the i586 to boot in the new machine it just says error: file not found. If I try to boot from either of the i686 options it begins to boot but has a stabilization error. Wait 10 seconds then freezes. What file is not found with the i586? Thanks in advance.

Can’t Get Wireless Networking To Work On Linux!?
Saturday, January 9th, 2010I am using Susie linux 10.1 . I am using an hp presario v2424NR turion laptop. Ok I am having one hard time trying to get wireless networking to work with my broadcom card. I have tried like 10 different drivers. I have an hp pavilion and the driver I use under windows doesn’t work in linux. I tried an updated driver from HP’s website that didn’t work. I tried broadcom drivers from other companies, nope. I went to wikipedia.org and they had a list of broadcom drivers. I tried all the ones with my model number, nope.
I keep getting this error message: error at line 135. Then when I give the comand ndiswrapper -l it says broadcom bcmwl564.sys is invalid, I am using 64 bit Susie linux on an AMD turion. I tried installing it on a 32 bit version of susie with the bcmwl5.sys driver but that didn’t work either. The only thing that works is the bcmwl5.inf file, that is the only thing that installs correctly.
What am I doing wrong! Should I give up on ndiswrapper and try something else?
