After replacing a F12 system with a F16 system on my laptop dual booted with Windows XP, the Grub2 installation failed.
When trying to install Grub 2 manually when booted into F16 Live CD I get the following error:
Code:
[root@localhost /]# grub2-install --no-floppy --recheck /dev/sda
/sbin/grub2-setup: warn: Your embedding area is unusually small. core.img won't fit in it..
/sbin/grub2-setup: warn: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged..
/sbin/grub2-setup: error: will not proceed with blocklists.

How can I get Grub2 to install? What is the problem here?
