The Fedora Grub2 Entry works as expected. what you could try is to re-do the installation but manually add the 'which' and 'os-prober' packages to the set of packages to be installed. this should cause a bootloader configuration with Windows in it to get written as part of install. I'm not sure if it'll solve the problem with the Windows entry not working, but when I tested this with TC1, it did work. If the Windows install in question is an, er, 'unofficially enhanced' one, this could play into things. I believe some such Windows builds use customized bootloaders to avoid Windows' copy protection, which obviously could be a factor. I don't know a whole lot about that, though. Note that there's nothing terribly wrong with your scenario 6, if you're just looking for something that works: you aren't obliged to use grub 2 with Fedora 16. We will actually still use grub-legacy out of the box for EFI installs, so it should be fairly safe to expect grub-legacy to work at least through F16's life. it does sound like grub2 is somehow failing to write a working configuration for booting your Windows install; it might help to see the grub2 config in question. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
