[TriLUG] Fedora, grub and ext3 questions

[Carlos J. Cela]

Hi,

I upgraded my home PC (a P3 Dell Dimension XPS, with a promise Ultra66 
disk controller) from RH8 to Fedora Core, and grub is halting after 
displaying "Stage 2" and a couple of graphic chars on the screen. I can 
boot perfectly fine from a Fedora rescue disk, everything works when 
doing so, but the PC will just not boot from the harddisk.

When upgrading to Fedora, I requested the installer to convert my root 
partition from ext2 to ext3 - could this have cause grub not to work 
properly?

I recall having issues long time ago getting the Promise Ultra66 to work 
with RH7 (would install but not recognize the disk afterwards). Could 
this be the case here?

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,

Carlos-
