Over the years, I've installed Solaris/SolarisExpress, every kind of BSD
as well as almost ever Linux distro that's out there and never have I
had a problem like this.
Is there some known bug about installing Fedora on a drive other than
the Primary Master?
This time I installed the boot loader on the first sector of the boot
partition - /dev/sdb1
I then installed an entry in XOSL to point to/dev/sdb1, booted from it
and got a screen full of blinking colorful ascii chars.
It really doesn't work.
Can someone tell me what's going on - Please?

I'm going to try to re-install FC12. Has anybody got a suggestion before
I start?

Hi all,
I have 2 SATA drives - Windows on the sda and have just installed FC12
on sdb. I installed
the boot loader on sdb.
Now, I'm using the XOSL boot manager (installed on its own dedicated
primary partition
on sda).
If I change the boot sequence in the BIOS to boot from the disk that has
the Fedora install
on it, it boots fine but if I try to boot from XOSL, I just get a black
screen with the cursor
flashing in the top left corner. Does anyone know what's going on and
how to fix it?
Regards,
Steve Laurie
