Ah, too late. I did an initial install (reserved two non-regular
filesystems) but worse thing happened.
Install succeeded, but on first boot, grub went into command prompt directly
instead of menu.
Booted from network again into single user mode,
'format' reports repeated error when opens the boot disk:
WARNING: /pci at 0,0/pci-ide at if,2/ide at 0/cmdk at 0,0 (Disk0):
Error for command 'read sector' Error Level: Fatal
Requested Block 147862276, Error Block: 147862276
Sense Key: ID not found
Vendor 'Gen-ATA' error code: 0x5.
It stops at "exceeds maximum number of retries".
This is a SATA disk, has both svn_37 and Fedora 5 installed.
I can still boot into Fedora by specifying kernel/initrd files in grub menu,
but grub gives some errors (not recogizing filesystem type, cannot mount
etc.) if I specify Solaris kernel and boot files.
I doubt this is a real hard disk issue, but haven't been able to narrow down
the problem.
I shall open a separate thread for this.
