F8 Boot screen with full of "Grub"

[svenkatesan]

I have a Dell desktop 8300 model with 2 harddisk.
The first harddisk come with winxp,the next one I added recently and partitioned with ext3 and swaps.
I have a separate partition for xosl boot loader and installed properly.
Fedora 8 installation and boot loader installed in the same disk where I installed o/s.After configure xosl and point it to the correct partition it worked correctly but when I restart again the whole screen flooded with "Grub" in few colummns.
I didn't receive no error messeages.
Any Idea to solve this?
Is it inconsistant on xosl or anything else? I have been using this type of multiboot very long time and only with this system and new linux versions I facing this problem.
Thanks in advance.

If I understand this - your system currently boots and floods the screen with "GRUB" messages.

I believe that grub over-write the MBR of the first disk.
To restore it you need to restore the MBR of that disk with the XOSL installation tool. Maybe boot the Windows CD and restore first, then restore XOSL.

Very few people here use XOSL.

Hi Stevea
Thanks for the reply.
From xosl I can boot to xp- no problem,only thro XOSL to fedora is the problem.
When reinstall xosl,it boots normally but not 2nd time.
I tried rescue disk of fedora also no use.
Anyother idea?
I installed ubuntu in another partition which also need to tweak.
Any other multiboot programme or list the linux distros in xp bootloader possible?
I didn't try this b4.

Just an update.
When I access from xosl still the same effect but from ubuntu grub I can go into fedora 8 without any problem.Time being I use this way to go in.
