-------------------------------------------------------------------------- I recently install Fedora Core 6 on my desktop (Watson) I had intended to write up a review style report...but I got distracted and just enjoyed the whole installation process (I may have ADHD). So seeing as there only six (6) issues in my notes. I'll release them on to the list - a thread per issue. I apologize if anyone sees this as spam. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [FC6, Install Issues] Incorrect drive order in Anaconda I haven't noticed any other threads about this yet, so I will go ahead and report it here. During pre-install (when it came time to do partitioning) I noticed that Anaconda have gotten my hard drive order wrong. Fedora Core 5 (still on the machine at the time) had had and still had the order of my drives wrong, but I aborted the install just to go back to the BIOS and verify order since my BIOS allows me to specifiy order. Anaconda didn't have my drives in any particular (logical) order, where as my BIOS (and FC5 did). I checked irc://freenode/fedora and was told that this shouldn't be an issue. So I went along with installation (successfully). On first boot however, grub did _not_ have it's background image and both boot targets failed: My new Fedora Core 6 and a Windows install I keep around just in case. Apperently, Anaconda was the only thing that saw my drives in the order that it did. The actually fix was simple - since I new what to do - I just edited the grub lines, changing the target. Booted up, then edited grub.conf accordingly. I seem to remember Anaconda or Grub getting my boot target wrong for my Windows install last time I install FC5. This may be a serious issue for someone who didn't know how to do this. Peace -- Fedora Core 6 and proud
