Description of problem: ======================== After upgrading from Fedora13-Fedora 14 Beta (KDE Spin) on 20/10/10 (using preupgrade-cli), grub is unable to boot to vmlinuz-2.6.35.6-45.fc14.x86_64, throwing a "Error 24: Attempt to access block outside partition" error. However, the older "vmlinuz-2.6.34.7-56.fc13.x86_64" successfully starts booting WITHOUT the error, and F13 had no issues either.No changes were ever manually made to grub configuration. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ============================================================= Kernel: vmlinuz-2.6.35.6-45.fc14.x86_64 (CAUSES THE ERROR) vmlinuz-2.6.34.7-56.fc13.x86_64 WORKED FINE!! Grub: 1:0.97-66.fc14 (x86_64) F13 did not have this problem... How reproducible: ================ Unknown. Have not tested. Steps to Reproduce: ================== Initial setup: 1. Install F13 to EXT3 2. preupgrade-cli to F14 3. Install F14 4. Reboot After upgrade: 1. Boot system into grub normally 2. Select F14 kernel (vmlinuz-2.6.35.6-45.fc14.x86_64) + Enter/Return key Actual results: =============== 1. Error 24: Attempt to access block outside partition 2. From then on, users are forced to cry themselves to sleep. Expected results: ================== 1. Fedora 14 kernel boots fine. All is fine with the world. Additional info: ================ This is on a GA-EP45-DS4P motherboard with 3x SATA drives, and the MBR is on /dev/sdc. There is 1 partition on /dev/sdc (EXT4), which is a Samsung HD154UI Further info is attached
