Hi, I've been off work on a flu vith some kind of virus (not to worry, I use F-Secure AV ) so couldn't been on the net for a while. x) FC1 did not make a bootdisk, it just formed that "your kernel selection does not fit into a floppy" (or somethin like that) and presumably tried to install grub on MBR or /dev/ida/s0d0p1 or unexsisting floppy. The RH9.0 bootdisk is no use at all, but yes: I can boor to rescue mode with FC1. How to I proced to get the GRUB working? I don't believe tha other machines FC1 installations I have will help because the hardware is very different... ;(

In update Fedora recommended to convert the loader and it did not ask about MBR, so it seems that it had tried to use floppy even though files dont fit in it. I tried also update again, but FC did not change any bootloader options, it notified that because kernel image did not change there is no need to change the bootloader. That did not help even I chose the MBR or first partition (/dev/ida/c0d0p1) or else partitions. The main point is (I think) that old RH fiteed on bootdisk and FC did not. I should have changed to boot from MBR before update but i forgot. Also, I have another machine with fresh installation of FC 1 but will the grub.conf options and files be the same? I am afraid that not.

I updated Red Hat 9.0 to Fedora Core 1 and select the choice to update from LILO to GRUB. Unfortunately I forgot that RH 9 booted from floppy and files in FC boot don't fit into a floppy. Now in the boot machine seems to want to use LILO, because first in black screen comes only text "LI" and then it hangs. In /boot/grub directory therere is only two files, "grub.conf" which seems to be corrupted and "splash.xpm.gz" and I think there should be many more. My machine has SCSI HW RAID 5 and Fedora finds the previous installation as /dev/ida/c0d0p1. So how should I configure GRUB or shall I have to do fresh installation over the whole thing...?
