Also, why does anaconda keep > getting it wrong? AFIACT, it keeps thinking that sdc is my boot drive, Actually it doesn't. The reference to /dev/sdc is simply a comment, even though it's wrong, but both versions are using (hd0,0). What is more interesting is that your edited version has root on /dev/sda3. Is this consistent with the partition you have marked as bootable (see fdisk)? poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
