I can't duplicate this. If you've got more info on the setup, that'd
help.
I'm just guessing, but this might be due to the bug that overwrites the
MBR even when Anaconda is told to put grub in the first sector of the
boot partition. (bug #151204)
Then grub-install wouldn't fix it...
That depends on how one recovers from having the MBR overwritten. I
normally have grub controlled from my "main" distro, i.e., FC3 at the
moment. That grub.conf contains the records to boot every installed
system, including Windows XP. So, after the MBR gets overwritten, I
have to boot to FC3 from a rescue disc and then run grub-install in FC3
to get back to the normal situation.
I, of course, don't know if that is at all related to the problem the
original user submitting the pos is experiencing.
