Description Peter 2006-06-05 19:15:39 UTC

Description of problem:
On a dual boot GRUB ignores the DVD as a boot option.  When I remove GRUB and
the FC5 installation, the DVD is once again recognized.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
After every install.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Windows XP (with normal MBR)
2. Install FC5 from DVD and select GRUB as bootloader
3. Try to install from DVD.
  
Actual results:
Same all the time.  I can boot to FC5 and I can boot to Windows XP on the hard
drive, I just can't boot to the DVD.

Expected results:
Even after an installation, I should be able to boot to the DVD.

Additional info:
The system is a DELL Latitude D800 with a NEC 5100 CD/DVD drive 60Gig Drive and
512meg memory

This bug is open for a Fedora version that is no longer maintained and
will not be fixed by Fedora. Therefore we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen thus bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
