    Question [solved] Fedora 16 | Welcome to GRUB! error: no such device:

    Hello,

    I am having a problem getting Fedora 16 to run in a dual boot mode. I have installed Fedora with LVM and Luks encryption. I was using Fedora 15 before and everything was working like a charm. After the installation process I get this error message while booting:

    Code:
    GRUB loading.

    I don't know where it is getting the above uuid? Did you install Fedora 16 to the same partition as your earlier installation? If you look at your grub.cfg file, the uuid number for your Fedora partition is:

    search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root da340bd1-62ed-46b6-8a84-5026f19261cc
    Did you install the Fedora 16 Grub2 to the mbr? The most detailed thing you could do to resolve this is to download and run the bootinfoscript and post it here.

    Boot Info Script | Free System Administration software downloads at SourceForge.net

    Instructions on using it are in the link under Description.

    Thank you for your help. Yes i have installed Fedora 16 on the partition where I had Fedora15 installed, but I made a fresh installation by erasing the old partition.

    I have run the Boot Info Script. Unfortunatly it doesn't say much to me. Here is the output:

    Code:
    [root@localhost /]# cat /root/RESULTS.txt

    I think part of the problem may be that you have grub-2 installed onto both MBR of /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, this should not be like this in my opinion.
    When you boot your machine does it ask you to press F11 or any other key to select BBS popup? If yes, try that and select the second disk. If not, can you go into the BIOS and tell it to boot from disk 2?
    I do not respond to private messages asking for Linux help, Please keep it on the forums only.

    I had the same issue, luckily, I was able to download an .iso of the live cd and just reinstall. From what I can tell, Fedora 16 uses a 500.mb booting partition, so point to that to boot from.

    Thank you for your help. You are right.

    During the install process I only selected the second HD on which I wanted to install Linux and forgot to select the primary HD (where Windows is installed) and mark the primary HD with the boot option.

    During the install process I used the following option, since the other didn't recocnize my Windows partitions:

    - Replace Existing Linux System(s)

    Thank you all for your help.

    Greetings
