<DIV>I'm trying to learn how to boot the 4.2.0 server with a grub boot disk and it only partially boots.</DIV>
<DIV>Here is what i type:</DIV>
<DIV>GRUB> root (hd0,0) yes its on /dev/hda1</DIV>
<DIV>GRUB> kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.681_FC3smp ro root=/dev/hda1</DIV>
<DIV>GRUB> boot</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The kernel loads up to selinux with a message about 10 lines before stating that it can't open a console.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In menu.lst, the kernel line reads this:</DIV>
<DIV>kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.681_FC3smp ro root=LABEL=/1</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What is this root=LABEL=/1 option? what does it mean?</DIV>
<DIV>P.S.: i did try this option in grub interactive and the kernel crashes, it only work in the menu.lst file.</DIV>
