I've tried twice to install FC4T3 amd64 on my system. It has 2 SATA
disks (not raid).
The first time I did an install everything to /dev/sdb2 and let it
set-up grub in the MBR. When I rebooted, it hung telling me that I had
a bad magic-number on /dev/sdb2.
I restored the MBR and booted into SuSE 9.2. fsck told me it couldn't
check /dev/sdb2 because the partition had some new features. So I
reformatted the partition to ext3 and re-installed. This time the
install didn't reformat the partition and didn't install grub. I
updated the suse menu.lst and re-booted. Same error. This time fsck
said the partition was ok.
