Description of problem: Anaconda didn't install grub correctly. I had to enter grub console (previously installed Ubuntu's grub) and boot manually: > grub (hd0, 4) > kernel /boot/vmlinuz[tab] root=0804 > initrd /boot/init[tab] > boot I managed to boot successfully (I'm running this precise Fedora 11 beta box right now). The Fedora's /boot/ was barely created. No grub.conf and no grub/*. At the installation process, Anaconda reported it was unable to mount /dev/sda4 as /, after copying the Fedora Image (sorry, I can't remember the name correctly) to the disk. I was booting from a USB pen drive created using UNetBootin from Ubuntu. The ISO image sha1sum matches, the installation disk was not corrupted. I should've saved the Anaconda's python log, but I unfortunately I didn't. I'm also wondering if there's a way to (re-)install Grub, in a automated way (kinda like Anaconda does). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 11 Beta
