Appendix C. Managing the Boot Process


In this appendix, you'll learn more about how to boot a Linux system; in particular, you'll learn more about configuring your computer system to boot any of several operating systems. The appendix focuses on GNU GRUB, the Grand Unified Bootloader, the most popular utility for booting Linux systems. Most users won't need to use the information in this appendix. But, this information can help you troubleshoot and resolve boot-related problems.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Fedora Core can be booted using bootloaders other than GRUB, such as LILO. Occasionally, LILO is able to boot a system that can't be booted using GRUB. To learn more about LILO, see the related section of the Red Hat Linux 9 Reference Guide, available at http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/ref-guide/s1-grub-lilo.html.
