From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: After completing the installation of Fedora Core 1, the system gets to the GRUB screen and simply hangs. In our current configuration we have two software RAID partitions /boot and / . The motherboard is a brand new Intel d865gbf, with 2 IBM 20 gig drives on separate ATA-IDE controllers. /boot is 150 MB and / is appr. 18G. There are also 2 swap partitions on each of the drives 256 MB a piece. Each drive is configured as such. RAID: md0 150MB /boot md1 18,000 / 1: 150MB swRAID 256MB swap 18,000MB swRAID 2: 150MB swRAID 256MB swap 18,000MB swRAID Using this setup in the severn beta test, RedHat 7.3, 8.0 and 9 there were no issues and the install and reboot were fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora Installer How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Standard installation with GRUB as the bootloader 2.Reboot upon completion 3.Scream and yell cause you can't reboot. Additional info:
I swapped which HD BIOS recognized as the primary drive and it booted. I still don't understand why the configuration worked with both RH 9 and Fedora Beta 3.
