Do you using yum or source compilation? I did compiled wine 0.9.27 from
the source and get the mentioned error. If you used yum, would you
please post the yum command here for me to try?

That's too bad, I am not quite farmiliar with MBR, anyway I guess would
be the MBR is corrupt, I encountered the similar problem before with
the dual of Windows and FC. I final use the tools called "spfdisk" (a
well-unkown boot utility) with the command:

"spfdisk /mbr" to fix my the MBR sector, anyway hope it help~~~
