This is just a heads up for whoever maintains the boot code in Fedora.
On Friday I installed Fedora7 to a new partition on my machine.
When it asked if I wanted to install GRUB I said NO.
This is my usual response, its easier to add the one new boot param to
grub.conf, than having to copy all the old ones there.
I think this is not true. I can copy 100 lines as easy as 1.
In any case, the machine WOULD NOT BOOT.
About three lines printed, including the "kernel" info, but NOT the
"initrd" info.
I think you mean to say that after saying NO to the loaders request
to set up grub, you found the OLD grub setup was no longer working?
Today I reinstalled, said YES, and everything is OK.
I have to assume that SOMETHING is not getting done in the install
sequence when you say NO. It will take someone familiar with the code
to check this out,- but the rest of you, be warned.
If your saying that the loader did ruin your OLD grub setup it is a
bug against anaconda. If the OLD grub was fine then it isn't.
