Description P. Ramirez 2003-10-22 15:45:05 UTC
Description of problem:
I have a Compaq 7111LA PC (Intel Pentium 4 processor) when I try to Upgrading 
from linux 7.1 to linux 9 at the end, I received next text:

"File a detailed bug report against anaconda at 
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla".

Since that moment I can't re-boot the PC, It doesn't work and never appear the 
screen to select the OS (Operative System) dos or linux.

When I try to re-install linux 9 detects that exist the linux 9 version, I try 
to make a rebootable diskette but appear this Warning:

"Aviso: No se ha instalado ningun paquete del kernel en su sistema. La 
configuracion del gestor de arranque no cambiara"

The possible tanslation can be:
"No kernel package was installed into your system. The manager agent's 
configuration didn't change."

And can't re-boot my PC.

Finally a could re-make the MBR with fdisk /mbr utility of windows and I see 
the Windows again, but I can't boot whith Linux.

Please teel me what can I do to see Linux 9?.
