No I haven't used any labels. I haven't done anything; I am just trying to do an upgrade. My FC6 may have labels, I don't know. I chose the option 'do not install a boot loader' and it still screwed up my GRUB, apparrently. I know this because windows was my default boot OS last time around, and now F7 has become that. Not a big deal but I don't like things being affected when they are suppossed to not be. If I can get it to boot properly I will then address the grub aspect and set grub.conf back to the other way. Also BTW this is one single laptop with one hard drive, so I know it isn't a multi-drive or SATA issue. I am going to try Tim's suggestions next and will post the outcome of that.

Have you used LABELs for all your partitions in fstab and grub.conf ? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
