Dell Inspiron 4150 FC 3 Grub stuck on Stage2

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,
I have a Dell Inspiron 4150 Laptop with WinXP in it. I am trying to dual boot 
it with Fedora Core 3. Installation went fine, but when booting I got the 
dreaded problem Grub stuck on : "GRUB loading Stage2".

I then boot 'linux rescue' from Disc 1, and 'chroot /mnt/sysimage' which is my 
/ of FC 3 installation. I tried to run 'grub-install /dev/hda' and the shell 
just stuck there. If I cancel it and reboot, I got the same problem (stuck at 
Stage2). I tried this many times with no luck.

Any suggestions ? 
Attached is my grub.conf and list of partition table. Thanks in advance for 
any help.
