Then run grub and enter: root (hd0,0) setup (hd0) I still go some funny udev errors, but the system came up. There may be other files which need to be cleaned up that I have not found yet, but at least the system came up. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
