GRUB keeps standing on screen upon boot

Hi there!

Just download Fedora Core 3 from some mirrors, installation went fine.

After reboot, GRUB kept standing in the left upper corner on the screen, without doing anything else.

I don't know how I could edit the conf or something else.
Looked almost every where on google, but couldn't find the right solution, or I just didn't looked that well... or the problem didn't matched mine.

Nevertheless, I can't figure it what is wrong.


Some specs: (don't know them all because comp is from someone else)

2 X 80 gb harddrive
Intel Pentium 4 3.0
and... dunno, sorry


Thought GRUB was installed during installation, whatever is there any other standard bootloader.

At the moment I can't do anything with the comp.


Greetings

This is a rare problem with FC3 grub that hits certain computers. It has something to do with your disk geometry and the way the disk was partitioned. The only way to solve this is to follow this procedure:

1) Locate FC4's grub package and write down the URL. You will need this for step #7. This is currently located at
2) Insert CD1 or DVD and boot into rescue mode.
3) Enable network (ethernet)
4) Get to the command line
5) cd /mnt/sysimage
6) chroot .
7) Use a text-mode client like wget, curl, links, lynx, or lftp to download FC4's grub.
8) rpm -Uvh grub*.rpm
9) grub-install /dev/hda
This is assuming your system is installed on /dev/hda, which is the first IDE hard drive. If this assumption is not accurate then you need to figure out your own place to install GRUB.
