Yesterday afternoon, I edited /etc/grub.conf to add "hdx=ide-scsi". (I'm saying hdx, becuase I forget the correct letter for my configuration. Needless to say, I checked the dmesg output to find the correct drive letter.) But when I got around to rebooting the system, GRUB choked, and choked hard. It could no longer recognize the Linux partitions. Load up the Fedora CD #1 and run "linux rescue". While I was not able to enter and move about the file system, the grub.conf file had vanished... I ended up having to do a reinstall from scratch. I wasn't even given the option of upgrading a previous install. So, if this works for you -- great. But be careful when you do this, or you might end up hosing your system like I did. Krikket
