Bad, bad preupgrade!!

Writing from Rawhide about my frustration on preupgrade when it comes for triple boot. I have Microsoft Windows XP (used for Flash development and games) on first HDD, Fedora 10 on second HDD on which Grub reside in MBR and the now upgraded Rawhide on third HDD where its grub is set at the beginning of its partition and preupgrade occured. Somehow, preupgrade also overwrite the first Grub it should not touch; it should only update the last grub from the third HDD. boot folder from the second HDD containing Fedora 10 is empty. How should I restore the boot folder from Fedora 10 now that kernel from Fedora 10 is good and practically linked with rawhide? See the image below I submitted a bug report and let hope that problem will be resolved as soon as possible.

Pretty boot with Nvidia on Fedora 10 Beta?

Currently, only Radeon R500 and higher users will get kernel modesetting by default. There is work in progress to provide modesetting for R100 and R200. Additionally, Intel kernel modesetting drivers are in development, but not turned on by default. I managed to get a pretty graphical boot from Plymouth only using vga=0x318 on grub line with Nvidia Geforce 7800GS using latest rawhide update (it already got Fedora 10 Beta). I don't know how to grab a screenshot from boot. Update screenshots
