Problem booting Fedora 11 x86_64
Hi,
I am having booting issue with Fedora 11 x86_64 (64-bit version) on my laptop.

Laptop configuration is as below:

OS : Windows Vista Home Premium (64-bit)
Processor : Intel Core 2 Duo T6400 2.0 GHz
RAM : 4 GB

Tried following different way for installation:
1. Installed Fedora 11 on separate USB drive with 23 GB allocated for linux partition mounted as /, 2 GB for swap partition and 100 MB for boot partition mounted as /boot.
No errors were encountered during installation.
But when system was rebooted and boot option was selected as USB boot Fedora was not getting booted from external USB drive. Only black screen with cursor blinking was appearing. Waited for 10-15 min., but no luck.
USB boot is enabled from BIOS as well, but still it is not booting from external HDD.Linux GRUB boot-loader was installed on external HDD.

Observations:
When I rebooted machine in Windows Vista and plugged USB HDD in, Vista was showing Linux 23 GB partition as RAW partition and others as FAT.
Not sure how it got changed to FAT32 Image
2. Installed Fedora 11 on laptop hard drive itself using partition structure same as above but still fedora was not booting and partitions formatted as Linux ext3/swap are showing as FAT partitions when rebooted in Vista.

yum-debug-restore

yum-debug-restore(1)													      yum-debug-restore(1)

NAME

       yum-debug-restore - replay Yum transactions captured in a debug-dump file

SYNOPSIS

       yum-debug-restore

DESCRIPTION

       yum-debug-restore  is  a  program which takes a gzipped file created by yum-debug-dump and acts on the information about installed packages
       contained within.

GENERAL OPTIONS

       --output
	      Output the commands that would be run to stdout.

       --shell=<file>
	      Output the commands that would be run to a file.

       --install-latest
	      Ask yum to install the latest version of the given packages, instead of the version that was installed in the debug-dump file.

       --ignore-arch
	      Ignore the architecture of the packages, so you can "restore" an i386 debug-dump on an x86_64 machine.

       --filter-types=[install,remove,update,downgrade]
	      Only perform the given types of commands, so you can filter to just upgrades and installs.

FILES

       As yum-debug-restore uses YUM libraries for retrieving all the information, it relies on YUM configuration  for	its  default  values  like
       which repositories to use. Consult YUM documentation for details:

       /etc/yum.conf
       /etc/yum/repos.d/
       /var/cache/yum/

SEE ALSO

       yum-debug-dump (1)
       yum.conf (5)
       http://yum.baseurl.org/

AUTHORS

       See the Authors file included with this program.

BUGS

       There  are  of  course no bugs, but should you find any, you should first consult the FAQ section on http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq and if
       unsuccessful in finding a resolution contact the mailing list: yum-devel@lists.baseurl.org.  To file a bug  use	http://bugzilla.redhat.com
       for Fedora/RHEL/Centos related bugs and http://yum.baseurl.org/report for all other bugs.
