Folks, I have a 32-bit test machine (Dell GX270, 1TB SATA, 2GB RAM) running XP (SP3) where I had successfully installed the Fedora 15 beta last release (500 MB boot, no LVM), and continued to use (in GNOME compatibility mode, the Radeon 7500 PCI video card not being rich enough for the full GNOME Shell). I'd tried to install from the F16 beta DVD, and shrink the F15 partition so I could run both F15 and F16 side-by-side. The shrink worked, but the subsequent install of install of the F16 beta failed. I tried again, with the F16 i686 LiveCD. It booted fine, but I ran into the ""you have not created a bootloader stage1 device" error. I tried again blowing away the F15 partitions, but without success. I have added my own comments to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=739389. Before installing the F15 beta, I had an experimental Ubuntu (my regular Linux being Fedora, but I wanted to check things out) 9.04, and later 10.04 partition dual booted with the same XP. When I installed 11.04 withUnity, it was aweful - the system was up but no windows or text was visible... hence the F15 beta. There seems to be a theme of problems with migration from older Fedora grub to grub2 in existing machines (especially when one has other partitions that can not be blown away, and even more so with 32-bit XP which does _not_ support GPT. Surely my experience is not typical? Suggestions anyone? Al -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
