Type 8E Anyway...i reinstalled FC4, then used FC5 like an upgrade. I can boot FC5 but only manually...at least it will boot now but when i want to boot the other OS i have to change boot priority. i have a copy of SuSe on the way though...maybe the Suse install can correct this? -- This is an email sent via the webforum on http://fcp.homelinux.org http://fcp.homelinux.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=77248&topic_id=18843&forum=26#forumpost77248
