I just bit the bullet .... 1. upgrade was totally smooth - i did not do yum upgrade ... I just burnt the ISO DVD; and then booted off CD and chose, UPGRADE current system ... 2. it took a long time, but it went smooth ... 3. however, I further yum upgraded (AFTER the initial upgrade) .... my kernel, and installed the source (developer/headers) and upgraded .... somewhere AFTER upgrading to the latest kernel - I rebooted 4. boot FAILED and was stuck at GRUB in the upper left-hand side ... 5. booted off rescue cd and did a chroot /mnt/sysimage grub-install /dev/sda recheck 6. I looked at the /boot/grub/ config files .. and for some reason peaked on the device.map .. and saw that it was changed - the current one looked like this: (fd0) /dev/fd0 (hd0) /dev/sda 7. I changed it back to only this: (hd0) /dev/sda And I was able to boot back into FC9! :) - V. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
