That said, my install runs through the point that it tries to boot. It

Hey Michael,

Did you turn off SE linux? Hmm, or maybe it's enabled by default until
you hit the first boot sequence. Anyway, that could be a problem, it
might not be recognizing your drives because its not familiar with the
labels given (via Kubuntu or whatever).
No, I didn't. Actually, I don't remember a prompt that asked me about SE
Linux.

The problem is that it is called SELINUX (the cr was unfortunate) and
you are asked whether you want to use it during the install. If you are
having install and boot problems I would disable it. At first, at least.

I just read a review of FC6 available today on Linux Today. The review
says that SELinux is enabled by default and can't be turned off until
after the installation is complete. This would coincide with my memory
of not being prompted about SELinux during installation. If the article
interests you, it's at
