Description of problem:
Just installed FC1 fresh on my laptop - did a 
# yum -y update
which updated the kernel. On reboot, nothing comes up but "GRUB". This
is a basic dual booter with W2K and NT boot loader on the MBR.

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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install FC1 on my laptop
2. do 'yum -y update', this afternoon
3. reboot
    

Actual Results:  screen says "GRUB"

Expected Results:  machine should boot

Additional info:

Sony Vaio PCG-FX270K
FC1 installed from CD
yum update exited normally.
Comment 1 SZ BEAM 2004-01-15 03:52:33 UTC 
sorry for panicking - needed to transfer the bootsector to the W2K C:
drive to be used properly in the NT boot loader, per:
