I think you are wrong here;
the F16 is first to use grub2, yes.

I am getting major "Read-only" errors trying to backup
my f14 system [on external USB partition sda8],
which still seems to behave ok,
to my 2nd scsi disk onto partition sdc7.
I imagine this means the scsi sdc is going bad,
but how to determine that vs a trashed system file?

F14 login fails on backup copy
I have a working F14 [call it F14usb8] on sda8 on my external usb.
I made a backup copy onto my 2nd scsi disk, seen as sdc7 [call it F14sdc7]
This was preparation for using it for preupgrade to F16.
Booting F14sdc7 at first looks normal.
But I am unable to log in:
A new thread, was "F14 login fails on backup copy; gdm error?"

In preparation for trying preupgrade from my existing f14,
I duplicated the f14 on another partition.
This copy of f14 boots, boot messages all OK.
But I can't login to it,
either in the graphical login window
or going to text screen.
Both just endlessly recycle me back to the login.
