Sorry to reply to my own message, but I've fixed the problem on my machine and this may be of help to the OP. Somehow, GRUB stage 1 was corrupted. To fix the problem: 1. Use the install CD/DVD to boot into rescue mode. After issuing the chroot /mnt/sysimage command, type "grub." 2. You should see a "grub >" command line. type "root(hd0,0)". Hit enter. 3. Type "setup (hd0)" and hit enter. This should reinstall grub in the MBR. 4. Type "quit" to exit the grub shell. Reboot. This worked for me. This method assumes a typical install of grub into the MBR of the first hard drive. -- Joel -- Joel -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
