Hi all,
First of all many thanks to Alexander Dalloz for answering
the question about multiple logical network devices which enabled me
to get this laptop running at home now.
I'll provide some more information about the system which can't boot
WinXP. I install grub as normal. Here's my grub configuration:
(root@localhost:~)# cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,6)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda10
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,4)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
title Fedora Core 3 (2.6.10-1.770_FC3)
root (hd0,4)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.10-1.770_FC3 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb max_scsi_luns=8
initrd /initrd-2.6.10-1.770_FC3.img
And the harddisk looks like this:
(root@localhost:~)# fdisk -l /dev/hda
Disk /dev/hda: 60.0 GB, 60060155904 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7301 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 1275 10241406 7 HPFS/NTFS

/dev/hda8 2105 2359 2048256 83 Linux
/dev/hda9 2360 2499 1124518+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda10 2500 2550 409626 83 Linux
/dev/hda11 2551 3825 10241406 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda12 3826 7300 27912906 b W95 FAT32
It' s my friend who partitioned his harddisk and I've no clue to what
he did to the latter--- He might have partitioned the whole thing
wrongly. I just installed FC3 in it and partitioned the empty space
for Linux. As for his windows stuff I' ve also no idea but it did boot
beforehand.
Everything is just normal install. I didn't do anything fancy. Thanks
for the help.
