I'm so sorry. There are dozens of bug reports, for exactly the same problem, none of them have answers, and many appeared to have been closed. I booted off the rescue disk, then shuffled around my data so I could boot off a PATA drive, then reinstalled onto that drive. I can now run FC3 again, and will not attempt to install onto a SATA drive again until I hear a bunch of success stories. Grub doesn't seem to be able to handle a mixture of drive types, and until it can there should be an alternate boot loader. > -- > Regards, > Rahul Sundaram Guy Fraser
