Dear all,
I have updated/upgraded the machine that was freezing all the time to Rawhide using Fedora Preview Iso + Updates.
There is only one gotcha. Grub is not working correctly?
When starting up machine. IT does nothing it stays at
GRUB
and stays there. I can successfully boot it using livecd's to boot the partition.
that grub-install /dev/sda1 may not have worked. since that is your win xp
partition.
here is what I did:
boot from a CD that has rescue mode
do the chroot to /mnt/sysimage
run grub interactively
at the grub> prompt
grub> root (hd0,1)
grub> setup /dev/sda
grub>quit
that should put what grub needs in the MBR.
reboot

P.S. there are other emails about this in the archives.

I have already run grub-install /dev/sda1 from Fedora 9 Preview DVD to make sure everything is ok. Is there anything that looks incorrect in grub.conf below.
BTW: Machine does not freeze anymore. Maybe it did not like Fedora 8.
Thanks in Advanced,
Antonio
