Hello. I tried to make a triple book laptop.

I installed windowz 7 on the first partition.
Next partition is swap.
Then I installed PCLinuxOS 2010 on the last partition (4th).
Last I installed Fedora 13 (I read that it uses Grub2, so I thought it recognizes everything).

After I check if everything works, windowz work fine, Fedora works fine but PCLinuxOS gives me

Code:
Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format

How can I make it work and have PCLOS again?

Thanks

Hi!

Fedora 13...
Error 13...

Maan, you should escape from those thirteens...  Grin

May be it's Grub2 breaking the convention in numbering hdx.y! It has no hd0,0 now but starts from hd 0,1... Ask DeBaas too Smiley

Try to find in /boot/grub/grub.cfg of Fedora the stanzas pointing to PCLOS partition and change there (hdx,y) to (hdx,y+1).

Here's a thread of mine on it:
http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:NbFiiCAVFRMJ:www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php%3Faction%3Dprintpage%3Btopic%3D72563.0+My+noobish+way+of+solving&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=en

and here's another one:

Have in mind that changes in grub.cfg persist only until the kernel is not updated.

Well, I kind of fix it.

1. I started my laptop with a PLOS livecd.
2. Open Restore MBR program.
3. I got the window:

4. Next screen it says that I have more OS installed:

5. Then I get grub

6. I added windows:
Code:
title Windows
   rootnoverify (hd0,0)
   chainloader +1

hd0,0 might be different to other computers.

7. It ends here:
