Re: fc2 issues
fitting
ok well i tried wiping the partition table/mbr with dd and it didnt help,
still have the system hanging at "GRUB" (although its no longer flooding the
screen, so i think that is a good sign)
i am going to try the forced kernel chs for hda as presented in that link
and see what happens, also in further reading into it, i am going to try and
force lba mode for hda in the bios as that was supposed to take care of some
issues for some people.
fc2t2 worked just fine, if i can find my disks i am thinking of doing a
minimal install of it followed by upgrading to fc2 final
