Hi, Just another unknown country heard from here. I haven't followed the whole thread in depth but I did notice on the grub2 web site that there were comments that versions of Fedora prior to Version 11 or something did not support booting from grub2, but as of 11 or 12 it does. (Go look at it if you haven't already) You might consider looking into what the Fedora folks did to get that to work. If you have a spare junk machine sitting around (I have some, you possibly do also) then you might even do a simple Fedora install using grub2 and ext4 to see how they make it work. Just an idea. Good luck, Mark -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
