I was doing full installs on 3 separate machines (Im working on a 4th at the moment) in both 32 and 64bit mode. I was able to do the install, but the following boot would fail. Using the Rescue option on the DVD I was able to boot the system, so it really seemed that (1) the boot block being written was bad (2) the driver was writing a bad boot block. I fought this for almost a week, and have no idea what finally solved the problem. I tried rewriting the boot block by doing an install of an earlier Fedora in an unused partition, and a number of other things... Something finally worked. But I fear my next upgrade. I posted my problem previously to this list, and didnt get any useful responses, Im glad at least to see someone else with a similar problem. Is it possible that Fedora/64 writes a bad boot block? That it is having problems with some DVD players? -- Reg.Clemens reg@xxxxxxx -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
