boot the F10 DVD - choose 'Rescue mode' and do not install again <<<<<<<<<<<
Accept the default options and it should locate the Fedora 10
installation automatically and leave you at a command prompt
Type...
chroot /mnt/sysimage
grub-install /dev/sda
exit
exit
remove the DVD and it should boot into F10
If not, please post the contents of /boot/grub/grub.conf

did above, it found the install,
but the response was exactly or nearly so as my last attempt:
--does not give the /dev/root error
instead flashes a full screen of boot msgs which quickly disappear
then the screen remains blank, have to hit power.
--it is possible still finallly hittting that /dev/root error
but screen goes blank so fast I cant tell.
So, your procedure seems to do no more than my last one.
here is the grub.con
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda1
# initrd /boot/initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda

title Fedora (2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686 ro root=UUID=449a78aa-d4d5-4
e91-bf9c-5833d7218c8f rhgb quiet scsi_mod.scan=sync
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686.img
this is the grub.conf produced by my install,
but previously modified by me
to append
scsi_mod.scan=sync
the rescue chroot did show device.map
(hd0) /dev/sda
and said to repair it if necessary.
I didnt do anything,
I could add (hd1) /dev/sdb,
but i thot it was not necessary for booting off of sda.
One other thing i dont think i have mentioned before:
the boot attempt first starts with something like
acpi invalid[?] pblk....
doesnt stay on the screen long.
I think i have seen this on every attempt.
any other ideas?
maybe retry taking out rhgb quiet?
