I am having trouble getting Fedora 15 running on my MacBook Pro. I had Fedora 15 installed before on this MBP before, so I know it works. I basically followed the good old instructions of

  1. Create a Windows partition in bootcamp (rEFIt was already installed from trying to get ubuntu running)
  2. Boot from disk and install in Windows partition with bootloader on installed on the / partition
  3. Install, reboot, and resync the MBR using rEFIt partitioning tool
  4. Shut down the computer and start up on the parition you installed linux on

Now I get a grub error:

error file not found
grub rescue>

Another weird thing is that I have two Linux boot instances showing up in rEFIt, but that is just a rEFIt issue.

Any recommendation on what do to?

EDIT:

It seems like the error message is GRUB 2 error message and so that seems to lurking around somewhere, problem has been there since I formatted the drives. Any ideas?

It seems like GRUB2 is living on sda1 and fedora on sda3, so it looks there first. Any recommendation on how to get it off? – madtowneast Jul 25 '11 at 3:56
