Re: booting fedora 11 from a fedora 10 grub?

[James Allsopp <jamesaallsopp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

ok, I've got to reinstall my system due to new hardware (32-64 bit) and wanted to see what F11 was like, whilst being able to keep on using my slightly broken f10 installtion in the mean time.. I don't really understand why it's using the UUID, I've just got two versions of fedora on two drives and would just like them to boot.

The F11 isn't a reinstall, it's a first time install on a clean drive.

Thanks,
Jim

why did you reinstall ?
If I am not mistaken ,
that will generate a new different UUID
and then the old stanza willl fail.
