Grub problems with XP/Fedora Core 1 Dual Boot

[Tim Gardner]

I have just upgraded my Redhat 8 to Fedora Core 1, with comparatively
few problems except, that is, GRUB.  I have a box with two hard drives,
one for Win XP and one for Linux.  This is the device.map generated by
anaconda:

(fd0)     /dev/fd0
(hd0)     /dev/hda
(hd1)     /dev/hdb

/dev/hda is Win XP and /dev/hdb is Linux.

I want a dual boot, with XP as default after 10 seconds.  What happens
is that I get something that looks like a listing from boot's
system.map:

c0100000 A _text
c0100000 t startup_32
c01000a5 t checkCPUtype
c0100133 t is486
c0100142 t is386
c010018c t L6
c010018e t ready
c010018f t check_x87
c01001b6 t setup_idt
c01001d3 t rp_sidt
c01001e0 T stack_start  . . .  etc, etc, for several scrolling screens

Then it boots straight into Win XP.

The only way I can boot into Fedora is with the boot floppy.  When I was
running RH 8 I had a problem with GRUB hanging and I solved that by
using LILO.  However, I guess I really ought to be using GRUB as LILO
seems to be on the way out.  At the bottom of this message is my
/etc/grub.conf   Can anyone see what's wrong with GRUB, or even suggest
how I can use LILO as a stop-gap solution???  Any suggestions most
gratefully received!
Thanks, Tim

PS. What's this business about hdc=ide-scsi all about??
