Subject: F8T3 fails to detect my existing F7 install
This is my current (F7) grub.conf. You'll notice root is
set to (hd1,1), which is /dev/sdb2, labeled /boot1.
If I try to install F8T3, it doesn't offer to add this to
grub. In fact, I don't see any way to install F8T3 and
still be able to boot F7.
I have the same problem on my laptop. I'm installing F8t3 to
a new root partition, without overwritting my FC6
installation root partition.
My workaround is to mount the FC6 root partition, that
contains the /boot/grub directory. (It's not a seperate boot
partition)
Then copy and paste the entries from the FC6
/boot/grub.grub.conf file, to the new F8t3
/boot/grub/grub.conf file. That way I can choose between
booting the F8t3 installation, or fallback to the current
stable FC6 installation which is working fine.
