Is this a known issue? I had the same thing happen on one of my machines. I did a fresh install of FC3 on a machine that had FC2 on it working fine. The install went well, but when I rebooted, grub made it to "loading stage 2" and then began an infinite reboot cycle. Rerunning grub-install from the rescue disk finished it, but I don't know what caused it. Maybe its an anaconda problem, or maybe its a grub problem. It's an Asus A7V8X-X motherboard, and the disk has 2 ext3 partitions and one swap partition. Some people on this list mentioned earlier about a partition ordering problem that was causing grub to hang, and this seems to be different, as it fdisk says my partitions are in the correct order. cya, .sig
