FC6 -> FC7t3 upgrade can lead to incorrect grub config

[Camilo Mesias]

Hi

I tried to upgrade a FC6 machine to FC7t3 using the DVD. Anaconda didn't 
find the grub config. I asked it to make a new installation of grub and 
the resulting menu.lst had incorrect numbers for the HD, eg. (1,2) 
instead of (0,2).

The symptoms were: grub menu behaved erratically (unable to edit boot 
commands); grub wasn't able to load a kernel, and the machine reset 
continually.

I used the rescue disc to boot and edited the menu.lst to (0,x) instead 
of (1,x) throughout, and the FC7t3 install was fine.

Is this a known problem or should I put it into BZ? I couldn't find 
anything relevant in BZ last night.

are you using IDE drives? It may be related to the move to the newer 
libata based IDE drivers.
go fill a bug  (and include info about your hd setup)

I hope that is enough info, if not I will try to provide whatever is needed.
