In the orginal send file was the grub file ok
but it seems now somehow broken up
I think there was something wrong with copying the master boot record.
I think this is strange because i made an update from FC4 to FC6 be
re-installing
How can i fix the masterboot record
Or how can i fix the masterboot record for Windows XP (I can than
reinstall FC6)
Thanks
Erik
This is the correct file:
cat grub.conf
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this
file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=1
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
