Description of problem: After a fresh install of today's (20090317) rawhide, /etc/grub.conf read: # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg. # root (hd0,0) # kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/xvda1 # initrd /boot/initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/xvda default=1 timeout=4 splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz # hiddenmenu title Fedora (2.6.29-0.258.rc8.git2.fc11.x86_64) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.29-0.258.rc8.git2.fc11.x86_64 ro root=/dev/xvda1 rhgb quiet initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.29-0.258.rc8.git2.fc11.x86_64.img Note that default=1 instead of default=0. This borks pygrub in xen-3.0.3 (EL 5.2) and the domain won't boot. No idea what effect if any on physical hardware grub. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 11.5.0.31 mkinitrd-6.0.81-1.fc11.x86_64
This should be fixed in the next build of anaconda.
Confirmed. Thanks!
