Petrus, Thanks for your help, but the solution from Antonio worked well. It seems like there is really a bug with GRUB and recent versions of Debian-based Clonezilla.

If you are cloning, then that means you must now have 2 partitions with Fedora 14. Since you cloned, it might not be easy to tell which system you are now running, the original or the clone. You can only have one grub installed. Since you can boot "one time" then grub must already be installed. Otherwise, how do you manage to boot? Reinstall grub, just to make sure it is in the right place. I find it best to have grub on the MBR of the *first hard drive* eg., on /dev/sda (not on /dev/sda1 or /dev/sdb or whatever). To install grub, as root and from the command line (not from the grub shell, like the ubuntu formum says--that is another way, but doesn't always 'take'. I had a problem with that once, too). Boot into your *main* operating system and run: grub-install /dev/sda Then, boot into the main system and edit /boot/grub/grub.conf to add menu entries for the various partitions that have operating systems. Editing grub.conf on other systems will not change anything. It must be the grub.conf on the system you ran the grub-install command on. If Windows or some other program overwrites the MBR, don't worry. Just reinstall grub from your main system: grub-install /dev/sda > Any ideas on why is this happening?

Hope this gets you further. -- 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 -- 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
