That kind of language will get you nowhere with us. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 504570 *** I apologize, but it took me a while to figure out what happened and frustration was overwhelming. So this is what actually transpired: sda(MBR) contains Dell loader which passes to *sda2* boot sector was *active* originally, and used by NTLDR, and configured to load GRUB and Fedora if selected sda5 boot sector is where I put GRUB bootloader After installation Anaconda *deactivated* sda2 and I could not reach any bootable OS. Proposed solution: Leave active partitions alone if user puts bootloader on a partition, but warn that it's his responsibility to configure ALL bootloaders if he wants to reach /boot. Fixed actually, see bug 533658 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 533658 *** |
