I installed the Fedora 15 64 bit desktop release on an
ASUD P5B-E with 8GB ram and several 2TB drives.
The install with basic video driver was uneventful.
Alas, booting got no further than grub-rescue.
No Fedora. No Windows either!
The hardware configuration had Windows and Ubuntu
on sde. So I rearranged the hardware to make that
drive sda and reinstalled. No Joy.
I turned off AHCI and tried IDE mode. Reinstalled
with no joy.
Finally I installed Xubuntu 11.04 and I can now boot
either Windows or Linux.
Offhand I'd guess that the old Grub in Fedora can't hack
the hardware. How can I get Fedora to install with the
current Grub???
