Description of problem: I hosed my system by upgrading this morning from the RC. It din't like my passwords anymore. I am not familiar how to boot failsafe using Grub2. So I used the Install DVD and tried reinstalling bootloader. All I get was an error, just after hitting the "reinstall bootloader" Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
I am increasing "Severity" since, if this bug is valid (other people see it too) it must be resolved before the release.

What error do you get?

using Grub (0.97) The error is: Error21: Selected disk does not exist grub> setup --stage2=boot/grub/stage2(hd0) Erro12:Invalid device request
Blocks: (none) => 416Summary: Rescue cannot reinstall bootloader => Rescue cannot reinstall grub2 bootloader
Thomas - I would recommend that you make a supergrub2 boot CD to allow you to boot easily without a bootloader installed or working: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/2012/07/04/super-grub2-disk-2-00-beta-1-released/ then run bootinfo script: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/files/latest and attach the RESULTS.txt here - it's really useful for diagnosing boot problems.

That error is related to grub not grub2 - removing block on 416
Blocks: 416 => (none)Summary: Rescue cannot reinstall grub2 bootloader => Rescue cannot reinstall grub bootloader
It is. Didn't you choose grub2 Thomas? rescue hasn't been made aware of grub2
Blocks: (none) => 416
I had Grub2 This now make sense: rescue hasn't been made aware of grub2 Could rescue install Grub in this case?
I think I close this for mga 3
