I have a similar complaint, but in 2 parts:
First, my laptop triple-boots [Windows XP][FC4][FC5t1]
*) I get the above behaviour using the 2.6.15-1.29_FC5hypervisor
kernel only. For me this is only a partition on /sda1 which seems
to have 100Mb of Dell system fat16 area. But it appeared, writeable,
and I may have clobbered it by mistake, not sure.
Note that I share the /boot partition for FC4 and FC5, and have
had to disable selinux on FC5 to make this work. Is there a
way around that?
*) However, I have long had a problem that XP complains the NTFS
area is dirty, and does a disk check on it instead of booting. This
seems to follow an 'ordinary' FC5T1 boot. FC5T1 /etc/fstab does not
mention the ntfs partition. FC4 does mount it R/O, but it seems to be
the FC5T1 boot which causes problems.
Cheers,
Bill
