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

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.

Received A Lsass.exe System Error On Boot, But Machine Now Booted. What Should I Do Before Re-boot?
Tuesday, November 24th, 2009For a couple of days I was receiving the following error on my XP Pro laptop when I would try to boot the machine:
“lsass.exe System Error
An I/O operation initiated by the registry failed irrecoverably. The registry could not read in, or write out, or flush, one of the files that contain the system’s image of the registry.”
I could not boot the machine even in safe mode. Norton GoBack was installed and when I finally disabled it at the boot screen, I was able to boot the machine.
Is there anything I should do to avoid this error in the future before shutting the machine down? Windows had installed the indexing service and my drive space is now down to 4.4GB (7%).
The only other clue is that Windows explorer locks up alot. I have done a thorough SpinRite analysis of the drive and it all checks out good.
Just want to do anything else that might avoid the problem again (or be prepared for it) before I shut the machine down.
Thanks.
Wtf Is “silent Download” And Why Should I Allow It On My Machine?
Tuesday, August 18th, 2009I think I finally found the cause of all the ‘Illegal Operation” errors I’ve been getting from Macromedia Flash. Every few days, I have to search out and destroy ‘flash9d.ocx’ because some weird download keeps killing my machine. I finally found 6 instances of ’silentdownload’ that seem to be doing the deed. After deleting them, I began to wonder WHY anyone would do such an idiot trick. Any programmers out there who would know?
I Have A Vista Enterprise Machine With Bitlocker. I Am Getting A Ndisrd.sys Error At Startup.?
Thursday, July 23rd, 2009I could not repair with any of the Vista disk tools. So i used the comand prompt from the Vista Disk and went to the directory c:\windows\system32\drivers\ndisrd.sys and erased the file from the directory. Restarted and the machine started up perfect. Ran a scan on the machine and all can back clean. Not sure if the file was corrupted. I guess it does not matter, since I read it is really not needed.
