  1. I'm getting the same "Cannot find partition" type error, also just getting "GRUB" and nothing else. Here's what I did. The machine at first only had windows on it. The machine was inkinded to me. I was going for a fedora 4 install without windows. So for the partitioning setup during install, i chose to remove all information on all drives, went with the 'use MBR option' and evrything installed correctly. Note about system, Has 3 drives, one connected via IDE to hard drive (hda) and two other sata (sda1 and sda2) hard drives. After opening the computer up, I found that the ide hard drive was not mounted (not screwed into case at all) and was left to fly around while still connected to the ide cable. So then I figured that was probably the problem and totally disconnected the hd drive (removed the ide cable and power plug from the HD) I reinstalled again and chose to remove all files from drives, and also only chose to install on one of the sda drives (leaving the other sda as "free space"(install goes in successfully with no errors) and now this time, after boot, i just get: GRUB and thats it... exactly like that. I tried pressing evrybutton even combos of buttons and nothing works... only thing I can do is hit the power button. Im able to boot from the rescue disk, or disc 1... and browse around but I can't get it to load linux on boot. I've been looking around this forum i did find one thing im going to try when i get home : grub-install --recheck /dev/sda will tryit by loading the 1st install cd in and doing rescue and mount. Any feedack is helpful I already have another machine i just installed up and running with fedora 4 no problems (but also no sda's, just hda's)
