Greetings all;
I started an install of f12 on what is /dev/sdb here, after using gparted to set it up, and figured out a way to get around the disk config in anaconda.
I answered a few questions, and it looked as if it was headed off to do it all by itself, so I toddled off to do a bit of walnut machining for several hours.
On return, I had a hell of a time getting my monitor to unblank,
darn power-saving technique scares me when it happens. :) <space bar> , mouse moving didn't work?
so I guess
this BS with the ATI driver, radeon, has finally gotten to the ccfl lamp in my monitor, and its just about 18 months old.
However, when I tried to use the exit button in that cd's simple gui, there was no response until I right clicked on the screen, but since it was running from the cd, it would not eject at any point during the reboot, and I finally killed the power for the 2nd time and managed to grab it in the 2 seconds between getting it to eject, and the bios sucking it back in. I expected it to boot F12, but there was no sign of F12 in the grub menu. Just my regular menu.
and no first-boot screen? you might have an incomplete install... however...
So I booted normally to F10 & kernel 2.6.34-rc2, and I have now tried to add a chainloader stanza to my grub.conf here on /dev/sda1 that will cause it to reload grub from /dev/sdb1.
instead of chaining, you could try: making a copy of your F10 stanza, and editing its fields to point to the paths/files on sdb.
Is anything missing?
Thanks.
