    I have a number of dual boot machines working fine with earlier versions of Fedora.  After a Fedora 17 install I get, along with at locale file error message flashing up

    error: invalid signature
    Press any key to continue

    And Windows won’t boot.  Following the example in the bugzilla.redhat.com posting I made the change of adding

    set root=(hd0,msdos1)

    and everything works just as it should.

    I don’t know why I neglect to have this on a diphur watch; however, I am downloading and installing the nmap 6.00 client on my Windows 7 and my Fedora workstation while I write this.  Excited about improvements.
