I had to repartition the harddrive to get a section large enough for linux install software, so I used partition magic to get a 30 GB section off of my 120 GB HD. After reconfiguring the hard drive the fedora installer accepted the unused section of my 120 and proceeded to install on it. I chose to keep dos as my main boot and keep the partitions I already had. Installed GRUB boot loader and it seems to work up until a certain point. Windows still works under the dos boot up, but fedora goes to a blank screen immediately after it displays:
"Welcome to fedora core 1
Press I to enter...."
Then the keyboard Num/Caps/Scroll led's blink 3 times in succession repeatedly. What does this type of post mean?
**edit
I checked with partition magic back in Windows xp Home and the 120 GB HD has 1 windows partition and the following 4 for linux:
"/boot( *: )"
"/( *: )"
"/( * )"
"SWAPSPACE2( *: )"
erroneous spaces above are to get rid of smiley faces...
