I told it to put it in the MBR. That would be /dev/sdb = (hd1) and not /dev/sdb1 = (hd1,0). > The string 'GRUB' exists in the MBR, but > there was a grub 2 install there prior from a mint8 install. > > 2.: > #26 > title Fedora 12 64 bit from sdb by chainloading > rootnoverify (hd1,0) > makeactive > chainloader +1 The comment is wrong. It tries to chainload /dev/sdb1 not the MBR. The "makeactive" or "makeactive 1" typically is not necessary. Do you see (hd1) in your F10's /boot/grub/device.map? And what does /boot/grub/device.map on /dev/sdb1 contain? -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
