"partition sda to sda1 ext3" means that /dev/sda1 was set to ext3 and also /dev/sda2 was swap.
This was done because in other past install of fc-8 x64 and centos 5.3 x64 and fc-11 x64 if I allowed anaconda to
nobrain do it's own thing a reboot resulted in grub coming up and then the boot would hang as it could not find whatever
or it said it did no like or know what an 0x8e fs was 0x8e is ext4 I think. So the only way I could get fc8 or centos 5.3
grub to not wet it's pants in confusion was to use the custom partition in the install and delete all lvm whatever and
set it explicitly
But Error 15 duuhhhhh
so
I installed FC-10 on /dev/sdb1, left FC-11 on /dev/sda1. first after install reboot failed. I played with a application supergrub. it's like doing a rescue but scan for grub instalations
and the lets you chose one and edit the grub lines. After watching the fails and the error messages I kinda thought that the device number was wrong so I changed hd(0,0) to hd(1,0) and
set the root=/dev/sda1 that was the problem. then I added 2nd boot of FC-10 to grub.conf below is the edited grub file.
Also as I suspected to get FC-10 to boot I had to rename /etc/init.d/cpuspeed By renaming it is skipped in boot process.
bascially it seems "whatever" gets the device hd0,0 wrong. I don't know all the current jargon of obfuscation of what you call what.
I believe this because my motherboard is all sata and has no ide, supermicro c2sbe but c2sba version has ide interfaces
but I call it a bug.
