Hans,
I recently helped somone install FC2 on a laptop. It had WinXP already installed and FC2 was installed on a single partition after it. After installation, grub always got hung. After some probing around, I reran "grub-install" without modifying the grub.conf that FC had created, and things suddenly started working fine.
I still don't know what the problem was, but a grub install fixed it just fine. Hope that helps.

Dear all,
I'm trying to install fedora2 on a HP AMD64 box with winxp factory-installed. I've got two disks, with xp installed on the first one.
after the reboot following the fedora install on the 2nd disk, all I get is: GRUB
using 'linux rescue' I tried to modify grub.conf with no success.
here's what fdisk tells me:
fdisk /dev/hda /dev/hda hda1 hp-recovery hda2 NTFS (XP boot)
fdisk /dev/hdd /dev/hdd hdd1 swap hda3 ext3 (Linux boot)
device.map says:
hd0 /dev/hda hd1 /dev/hdd
has anybody got a glue how grub.conf is supposed to look like for grub to work on my system.
right now I'm pretty much dead in the water - can't boot into any OS!
