    Dear all,

    I'm trying to install fedora2 on a HP AMD64 box with winxp factory-installed.
    I've got two disks, with xp installed on the first one.

    after the reboot following the fedora install on the 2nd disk, all I get is: GRUB

    using 'linux rescue' I tried to modify grub.conf with no success.

    here's what fdisk tells me:

    fdisk /dev/hda
    /dev/hda hda1 hp-recovery
                      hda2 NTFS (XP boot)

    fdisk /dev/hdd
    /dev/hdd hdd1 swap
                      hda3 ext3 (Linux boot)

    device.map says:

    hd0 /dev/hda
    hd1 /dev/hdd

    has anybody got a glue how grub.conf is supposed to look like for grub to work on my system.

    right now I'm pretty much dead in the water - can't boot into any OS!

    H.
