Im using a kickstart installation with my own partitioning.

It nearly looks as if grub is installed in some partition but I am quite
shure that the old MSDOS MBR is overwritten.

Is there a way to check if grub is installed in the MBR?
Or is it a bug in grub?

(kickstart option is: "bootloader --location=mbr")

Dumb question - Is this a new install on a machine that had been
running Fedora 10, or is this another machine? The reason I ask is
that I have run into BIOSs that will not boot if one partition is
not marked bootable.


Well, i tried 3 machines and not quite sure what has been running before..
Fedora 11, Centos, Windows XP.
But in between I tried Centos (which works) and then again Fedora 11 which fails.

Maybe it is really the BIOS (only intel boards here - but different chips).
