Hans, I recently helped somone install FC2 on a laptop. It had WinXP already installed and FC2 was installed on a single partition after it. After installation, grub always got hung. After some probing around, I reran "grub-install" without modifying the grub.conf that FC had created, and things suddenly started working fine. I still don't know what the problem was, but a grub install fixed it just fine. Hope that helps. --Rick On Wed, 30 Jun 2004, Hans Horn wrote: > Dear all, > > I'm trying to install fedora2 on a HP AMD64 box with winxp factory-installed. > I've got two disks, with xp installed on the first one. > > after the reboot following the fedora install on the 2nd disk, all I get is: GRUB > > using 'linux rescue' I tried to modify grub.conf with no success. > > here's what fdisk tells me: > > fdisk /dev/hda > /dev/hda hda1 hp-recovery > hda2 NTFS (XP boot) > > fdisk /dev/hdd > /dev/hdd hdd1 swap > hda3 ext3 (Linux boot) > > device.map says: > > hd0 /dev/hda > hd1 /dev/hdd > > > has anybody got a glue how grub.conf is supposed to look like for grub to work on my system. > > > right now I'm pretty much dead in the water - can't boot into any OS! > > > H.
