Hi all,
I installed F9 preview several days ago. For some reason, I
encountered the same problem I did when going from FC6 to FC7;
anaconda hoses my grub config and I get dumped to the grub prompt at
boot. I posted to the list about it then, and I looked the old thread
up for a solution when it happened again. For some reason, I can't
seem to fix menu.lst this time around.
At the moment, to boot Fedora, I type at the grub prompt:
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vm... root=/dev/sda3
initd /initrd...
boot
(... = tab autocomplete) This works fine. Below is my modified
menu.lst and the one created by anaconda
# grub.conf modified by me
#
# 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 (hd0,2)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda3
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu

Anyone seem something that I am missing? Also, why does anaconda keep
getting it wrong? AFIACT, it keeps thinking that sdc is my boot drive,
which is wrong. I would love to be able to fix things so future
installs don't require this rigamarole.
TIA
