Hi; I have started this thread again as a new thread. The previous "Double checking grub-install ??" lead off in all kinds of plausible directions. I think I now have more of a focus. To recap: I am getting a double Fedora grub splashimage at boot. I have a dual boot system with WindowsXP on sda and Fedora 9 on sdb. I have some experience with installing grub but made a typo type mistake during a grub install a month ago and I think (??) that might have been the root of my double splashimage problem. To check the mbr, I ran on /dev/sda: ~]# dd bs=512 count=1 if=/dev/sda | od -Ax -tx1z -v it returned: ... 000160 7c be 85 7d e8 40 00 eb 0e be 8a 7d e8 38 00 eb >|..}.@.....}.8..< 000170 06 be 94 7d e8 30 00 be 99 7d e8 2a 00 eb fe 47 >...}.0...}.*...G< 000180 52 55 42 20 00 47 65 6f 6d 00 48 61 72 64 20 44 >RUB .Geom.Hard D< 000190 69 73 6b 00 52 65 61 64 00 20 45 72 72 6f 72 00 >isk.Read.

[Notice the GRUB string on the second and third line as well, and Error on the fourth line] Could this double grub be the source of my problem ? If it is, how do I remove it (from sdb -- I presume)? Others have suggested that the double splashimage is just a video mode switch but then how do I account for the grub appearing on both mbr's -- Regards Bill; Fedora 9, Gnome 2.22.2 Evo.2.22.2, Emacs 22.2.1 -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
