Hi. Any progress on this?
This may be completely unrelated to your issue. I was unable to boot
F11-Preview or F11-Release (both x86_64). I installed multiple times.
I installed grub to NON-MBR (sda8). I tried re-installing grub to no
effect.
This morning I booted linux rescue mode, and ran 'fdisk' on the disk.
I realized that my Fedora 11 X86_64 installation somehow mislabeled
the partition id for '/' sda8 as ID=6 (FAT16) instead of ID=83
(LINUX).
I changed the ID to 83, and re-installed grub and now Fedora 11 64
boots correctly!
Oddly enough this only happened on my T61 Laptop, but did not happen
on my AMD64 Desktop. Both systems I installed F11-64 and grub to
non-MBR and both I chainloaded through Vista/XP.
I am looking through bugzilla to see if this was already reported.
