WIN8 installing Red Hat 6.3 dual system

Overview of the machine:

Operating system: Microsoft Windows 8 Enterprise Edition

Acer Notebook: Aspire e1-471g

Hitachi SATA hard Drives, IDE mode. ( It is said to be made into AHCI, but this one does not affect me )

Daily work and Red Hat Linux contact more, just the computer has a RH6.3 i386 mirror, think of To install a dual system to play.

Step 1: Format a piece of unallocated space to install Linux in one. Then create a new FAT volume, assign the drive letter to store the image of the Linux, ( from the reserved 100M disk start number, remember it is the first few pieces, mine is the 7th ) the ISO copy in, Also copy the ISO images and isolinux in the root directory of this disk.

Step 2: Copy the initrd.img and vmlinuz two files from the Isolinux to the C drive and the fat disk.

Step 3: Install the EASYBCD software, compare the small white bootloader software. The personal version that I downloaded on its official website, it is very bad to use the appearance.

Tried several times, changed the type and drive, are unsuccessful, finally somehow finally into the grub interface.

Step 4: Enter the following on the GRUB command line:

Root (hd0,1) # (hd0,0) seems to be Wind's reserve plate, (hd0,1) is the C drive

Kernel (hd0,1)/vmlinuz

INITRD (hd0,1)/initrd.img

Boot

Then go into the familiar Red Hat installation interface, then you may want to choose the mirror in which disk, such as DEV/SDA0, 1, 2, 3 and so on, my is/dev/sda7.

Summary: After loading the problem is still quite a lot.

1, enter the Red Hat system will have an error:

[DRM] mouveau 0000:01:00.0:no native mode,forcing panel Scaling

MUX Info call failed and the like

Seems to be a video card problem, temporarily unresolved

2. After entering the Win8 start screen, the display cannot be repaired automatically, prompting inaccessible boot device

Recall that when the installation of WIN8 SATA mode must be set to the IDE, after the BIOS changes back, the system is normal.

After seeing the information in the grub.conf, it feels easybcd to install the startup item in the 100M reserve area. Change to (hd0,1) will start win8 directly after grub.

Add: About Grub and HD (x, y) partitioning

1, after the machine starts, the BIOS power-on self-test, according to the CMOS sequence to start the system, after selecting from the hard disk boot, the BIOS will start to the first 512-byte sector located on the disk (0 0 cylinder 1 sector), that is, the MBR (which contains the activation of the primary partition of the boot content such as grub/ Lilo and the partition table), after the MBR is given to grub, grub reads the grub.conf content to load the kernel and the initial memory, and the next thing goes to the kernel.

2, the first hard disk called hd0, the second block is called HD1, that is, from 0-x.

The sequencing of multiple blocks of hard disks needs to be judged by the BIOS startup self-test sequence.

Partitions on the hard disk start at 0, which is 0-y

General PC with only one piece of hard disk, open Disk Manager under Windows, from left to right, h0,0...h0,y
