I installed to my HD, using Fedora 7 LiveCD. Upon system startup, the
Grub, OS selection screen appears. But requires that I hit Enter to
boot. It should timeout after 5 seconds and automatically boot. There
is no other OS loaded on this HD. I tried reloading completely, and
selected the option, not to use a bootloader. But when I tried to boot,
I was greeted with a blinking Grub prompt, which simply hung. So I
installed again, selecting Grub, and must still use manual intervention
to boot to the OS.
I never had this problem with lilo. And have read the Grub docs, but
really think, I'm not doing anything wrong.
Any ideas, appreciated.
