I'm still a little confused over how to stop it looking for the ubuntu swap file. Should I copy and paste what you wrote? not sure about if that's what I have to do nano /etc/fstab do editing (the hash is a command isn't it?) grep swap /etc/fstab /dev/mapper/fedora-swap swap swap defaults

I hav found /dev/fedora and it contains home root swap

Is this the swap file that i need to get rid of?

I only have one hdd in with just fedora on it now

If so is it rm /swap in that folder in terminal

I tried the lv scan and got an error:

[root@localhost fedora]# cd /home [root@localhost home]# vgscan -ay vgscan: invalid option -- 'a' Found swap in terminal /dev/mapper/fedora-swap: UUID="d05301ce-2af3-4042-b219-eec8cb0ddd1e" TYPE="swap"

The one that it's looking for but doesn't exist is for ubuntu-vg so I need a way to stop it from looking for it. I'll try the initramfs again

If I use --force in addition to --regenerate-all is there a particular order i need to use? I tried dracut --regenerate-all it was the same then dracut --regenerate-all --force and it was the same

How do i fix the swap partition that doesn't exist? Apologies for my noobiness

It's same after that command

I'm going to run grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg in terminal

I recently downloaded and installed the iso for fedora 20.01 on a spare but small hdd and have run the updates and all was fine until I successfully retreived my data from a failed hard drive that had had ubuntu 14.04 on it. I have another (3rd) hard drive with fedora 14 which boots up fine.

I have removed all hdd's except this one with the new iso

When I boot this disk with the latest and updated fedora on it hangs and drops to a shell and I get this message:

Type "journalctl" to view system logs you might want to save "/run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt" to a USB stick or /boot after mounting and attach to a bug report.

found device /dev/mapper/fedora-root

Then it tells me to regenerate my initramfs

I'm self taught and learnt all my IT stuff by trial and error and I built this desktop-machine from some new/ some old bits but still there is loads and loads I don't know so please help me The BIOS is the latest as far as I can see, I'm on a M5A78L-M. I can't flash the BIOS because I don't have Windows. (I have a USB drive on it's way in the post) but the other disk with the old version of Fedora boots/works fine, unfortunately that old disk is full. I now have things on this disk from the failed ubuntu that I can't afford to lose until my replacement HDD arrives from the ppl who sold me a dud

FransiscoD I have seen your message on the other question I asked when I thought it was solved but have no idea if or how to start messing with grub2. I realise the boot is looking for the old disk. The other disk with earlier fedora on doesn't do that.

just in time to see the rosetta thingy land on the comet tyty

Thank you, before I saw your answer, I typed in yum update and it was pretty awesome :)

Sorted, watched a youtube video and have done an update and seems to have fixed everything possible

(I'd like to add that Fedora was the only one of quite a lot of linux distro's that would allow me to access and retreive my stuff from a failed hdd.)

I just installed Fedora 20.01 but now it says to update the intr... something when it's booting and is going into a shell. How do i update the kernel?. I think I may have upset it while retreiving data from a failed hdd. It was fine before and I can boot ok with a spare drive that has fedora 14 on it. It does eventually boot. New to Fedora 20.01 and been using Ubuntu too long

Is there a command to use with yum to repair the boot?
