The default install is kind of bizarre:
title Fedora Core (2.6.15-1.2054_FC5)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 ro root=/dev/vg0/root vga=6
initrd /initrd-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.img
title Fedora Core-up (2.6.15-1.2054_FC5)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 ro root=/dev/vg0/root vga=6
initrd /initrd-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.img
I'm not sure why it decided to include two identical stanzas with
"-up" appended to one. The one kernel that's installed is the i586 UP
one. I installed the i686 UP kernel, and it does start to boot but
panics around the time it should mount the real root filesystem. This
might just be an initrd thing; can you install both the i586 and i686
kernels at the same time?
I'm on a bit of a vacation but I will try to get some information you
can actually use (i.e. actual error messages) when I'm back in the
office.
