Yes, I 'now this a grub issue, but on friday, when i suffer mbr damage, i scan upgraded package on yum.log and i could see, among the dangerous packages: kernel and device-mapper-multipath (give a look at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=450143) No grub upgrade was in place. My grub is: grub-0.97-33.fc9.i386 At this moment we cannot say if the mbr was damaged by kernel or device-mapper-multipath or whatsever. I feel that anyone at the moment can fall in this issue and i feel my obey to advice this community. Maybe my words are not the best and are misleading, i agree with you; for sure someone of fedora devs can describe this issue without misleading. my 2 cents -m -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
