Clean install in front of me says it never heard of Grub2; so I double- checked. Looks like Grub2 may make it into F15. As I recall, there have been long discussions about dependencies that don't meet the Fedora guidelines, or something like that. http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/14/html/Installation_Guide/ch-grub.html Buried in one of the pages is this note: "GRUB (GRand Unified Bootloader), which is installed by default, is a very powerful boot loader. GRUB can load a variety of free operating systems, as well as proprietary operating systems with chain-loading (the mechanism for loading unsupported operating systems, such as Windows, by loading another boot loader). Note that the version of GRUB in Fedora 14 is an old and stable version now known as "GRUB Legacy" since upstream development moved to GRUB 2." In any case, the question is still whether the OP used the defaults, or changed them. If he's got the default boot sector location/type and the default boot loader, it shouldn't be an issue; but if he changed them then that's one possible reason the kernel is lost. But now that I re-read his post, it looks like it might be earlier. That message looks like the BIOS saying there isn't a bootable sector (as Jeremiah seems to have interpreted it). I would want to drop back to simple, and ensure there wasn't a floppy in the drive... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Linux Users Group.
