Did a preupgrade from Fedora 14 to Fedora 16 on a system, and everything seemed to go fine except the grub was not updated to the grub2 as other upgrades I had done had. I was able to get the older grub to boot the new kernel, by manually editing the grub.conf file, but have not been able to fine a way to get the grub2 to work or find info to fix it. The fdisk shows the first partition starts at sector 63, and this seems to give a message that the embeded area is to small. The strange thing is that I have other systems that I upgraded that have the same first partition starting at 63, but they have the grub2 working? It might be that they were upgraded earlier, and the grub2 might have fit in that area, but have seen messages that say an update has made it no longer fit in that area. Another system has a clean install of Fedora 16, and it has the first partition starting at 2048. Have thought of moving the first partition to free up space, but gparted mentions that this might make the boot fail. Is there some documentation that can help in getting the grub2 working? +----------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.
