I am having the exact same problem. When I use up2date to install a new kernel, the machine will hang with the word "GRUB" after POST. I have to use a rescue disk to re-install the boot block. (grub --version : grub (GNU GRUB 0.95)) The system is running 2.6.9-22.0.1.ELsmp, dual Xeon using software raid-1 on an IBM e336 with two SATA drives. After doing a "fdisk -l" I am getting unexpected messages about invalid partition tables: ------------- # fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 13 104391 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sda2 14 535 4192965 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sda3 536 19457 151990965 fd Linux raid autodetect Disk /dev/sdb: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 1 13 104391 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sdb2 14 535 4192965 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sdb3 536 19457 151990965 fd Linux raid autodetect Disk /dev/md0: 106 MB, 106823680 bytes 2 heads, 4 sectors/track, 26080 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8 * 512 = 4096 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System Disk /dev/md2: 155.6 GB, 155638628352 bytes 2 heads, 4 sectors/track, 37997712 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8 * 512 = 4096 bytes Disk /dev/md2 doesn't contain a valid partition table Disk /dev/md1: 4293 MB, 4293525504 bytes 2 heads, 4 sectors/track, 1048224 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8 * 512 = 4096 bytes Disk /dev/md1 doesn't contain a valid partition table # df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/md2 143G 2.0G 134G 2% / /dev/md0 99M 22M 73M 23% /boot none 506M 0 506M 0% /dev/shm

Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now, we will automatically close it. If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again.
This bug has been in NEEDINFO for more than 30 days since feedback was first requested. As a result we are closing it. If you can reproduce this bug in the future against a maintained Fedora version please feel free to reopen it against that version.
