Today, I successfully installed Fedora12 on my mobile hard drive. (Windows XP SP3 + Ubuntu 9.10)

The installation process is as follows:

1. place initrd under the isolinux directory in the Fedora-12-i386-DVD.iso. the img and vmlinuz files are extracted to the D root directory in the Windows partition, and the images directory and the following files in the Fedora-12-i386-DVD.iso are also extracted to the D root directory.

2. Modify the boot. ini file and add line C: \ GRLDR = "install fedora 12.

3. Modify the menu. lst file. Add the following lines:
Title Install-Fedora Core 12
Kernel (hd0, 4)/vmlinuz
Initrd (hd0, 4)/initrd. img

4. Restart and select "install fedora 12" from the menu ".

After 30 minutes, the installation is complete. Raner, started with a mobile hard disk, but cannot enter fedora12, no response at all (black screen ). After thinking and trying for more than an hour, I finally got a solution. The method is as follows:

Because my computer previously installed ubuntu. Start the machine to enter the system and modify the grub. cfg file. Remove the read-only command first:

Sudo chmod + w grub. cfg

Sudo gedit grub. cfg

Add the following lines to the grub. cfg file:

Menuentry "Fedora (2.6.31.5-127. fc12.i686. PAE )"{
Recordfail = 1
If [-n $ {have_grubenv}]; then save_env recordfail; fi
Insmod ext2
Root (hd1, 4)
Linux/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686.PAE ro root = UUID = 12f46cab-7e31-4b4f-85e1-2b217bef4ea4 LANG = en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT = latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE = pc KEYTABLE = us rhgb quiet
Initrd/boot/initramfs-2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686.PAE.img
}

Save and restart.

Select Fedora 12 from the Startup menu. Open terminal and run the following command:

Vgrub-install -- ignore-floppy/dev/sdb

Restart and select start from mobile hard disk. The problem is resolved.
