You haven't said how you tried to get grub installed, in particular where you installed it. Perhaps you installed in on /dev/hdb and your machine is looking for its bootloader on /dev/hda . If so, you could try telling your BIOS to look at hdb first.
Sorry. I did mention this in another message but should have carried that info into this thread as well. Just frustrated I guess. But I did have it installed on /dev/hda as fedora suggested and that failed to work.
Centos suggested the same thing and grub works fine with Centos. ??
Also you could try running your first Fedora CD in rescue mode (as explained I believe when you put the CD in), and use fdisk to look at your disks. I must admit I prefer to use Knoppix for this kind of thing; why not download Knoppix to a CD and see what it finds?
Well - everything is installed on the hard drive. I am certain of that. But for some reason fedora core6 will not install grub on this machine. And previously, I had core5 on here (hdb) and it worked fine. In fact I was impresssed with it and now am wondering why I should upgrade?
So, there has to be a reason why fedora won't install grub on this machine. But at the moment I am totally lost for any reason why it won't install.
