I had the same if you see the mail I sent you. I'm confuse that you cant find your grub.conf in boot. You may need to open a terminal and type: [bob@bear ~]$ su - (You should then see) Password: (type you admin pw) The type: [root@bear ~]# cat /boot/grub/grub.conf ( you should see in FC3) # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. # root (hd0,0) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 # initrd /initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/hda default=0 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title Fedora Core (2.6.9-1.681_FC3) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.681_FC3 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.9-1.681_FC3.img [root@bear ~]# This what boots the kernal, you are using the same kernal as me. Just a thought Have you got 1 hard drive and does it have Linux Fedora Core 3 only? cheers Bob On Wed, 2004-12-29 at 15:46 +0100, M. wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> <TT>kernel-2.6.9-1.681_FC3</TT> </BLOCKQUOTE> </BODY> </HTML>
