Is it etiquette on this list to top post or bottom post when replying?

Does it give a error message?
Maybe you should try installing Fedora with LILO (is that still possible? I think so)
Matt.
No Matt, no error message. further, after more investigation it appears that GRUB is actually running, and if I could understand the very cryptic help I could possibly boot FC 3 at least, and edit the GRUB .conf file
No, LILO is not an alternative in the installation choices.

grub has no problem with the 1024 cylinder boundary. Even the current lilo does not have it any more since a long time.
snipped....
Provide us with information from following commands run:
a) fdisk -l b) cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
Of course you can execute the commands from running Mandrake. For b) you will just have to mount the /boot partition of Fedora.

Thank you Alexander,
I will try again after work this evening. I have acquired a copy of MandrakeLive CD, so I can first load Fedora Core 3, then run MandrakeLive from CD to investigate.
More later
