Thanks
for the replies guys.
I believe that I
forced the reiserfs option at the beginning of the install. However, I am not
sure about this. I have since reinstalled using a manual partitioning of /boot =
ext2fs; / = ext2fs and a swap partition. All of these are on
hdb.
I did use
grub-install /dev/hda to install grub to the MBR.
I had the same
problem as before. (Error 17 during Stage 1.5). You don't get as far as a grub
command line. You have to reboot with a floppy containing grub which boots to
the command line. You can then boot either OS by the manual method I described
in my earlier post.
However, what is
really strange is that I have installed grub to another floppy. This boots fine
and presents me with a lovely Fedora splash image and menu containing both the
options in my grub.conf file. I can then boot both Fedora and Windows XP from
this menu.
Why though, does it
work from floppy and not from my MBR? Obviously I don't want a floppy in the
computer every time I boot.
