Hello, I have a problem with booting into FC6: I had the following installation: /boot on hda1 / on md0 (raid1 on hda2 and hda3) Extended partion on hda4 with only a swap partition as hda5 In the Fedora installation process I selected to install the boot loader in hda1, not on the MBR. After wiping the entire HD and restoring all partitions using images I had taken from the various partitions, as well as the MBR (used "dd if=/dev/hda of=backupfile count=1" to backup and the other way around to restore), I get stuck with "GRUB" followed by a blinking cursor when I try to boot. Using the SystemRescueCD in order to run grub-install /dev/hda1 does not get me further either. Running grub-install on /dev/hda instead of /dev/hda1 gets me to the grub prompt, but still not all the way through. What am I missing?
I think you are missing the root(hd0,0) command intro grub. read this that worked for me sometime ago. http://www.go2linux.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=32&Itemid=9 Off course I had no raid :) -- Guillermo Garron "Linux IS user friendly...
