Hello,
I have a Dell Inspiron 4150 Laptop with WinXP in it. I am trying to dual boot
it with Fedora Core 3. Installation went fine, but when booting I got the
dreaded problem Grub stuck on : "GRUB loading Stage2".
I then boot 'linux rescue' from Disc 1, and 'chroot /mnt/sysimage' which is my
/ of FC 3 installation. I tried to run 'grub-install /dev/hda' and the shell
just stuck there. If I cancel it and reboot, I got the same problem (stuck at
Stage2). I tried this many times with no luck.
Any suggestions ?
Attached is my grub.conf and list of partition table. Thanks in advance for
any help.
