Hello,
After installing Fedora Core 1, my computer won't boot Linux successfully, ending with the message
mkrootdev: label / not found Mounting root filesystem mount: error 2 mounting ext3
and a Kernel panic because it can't find an init.
When booting from the installation CD, already, i get the message
unable to read partition table
This is your first clue you are in trouble.
Repartition the drive --- force it to do that.
I have had cases where the windows partition wa sunreadable because of differences in how the os read the drive -- logincal mapping of the CHS was different and it would not work. I blew away the partition table completely, rebooted, then created a new partition table and everything was happy.
