Fedora Core 2 new install -

[BOB GOODWIN]

I purchased a set of four disks mail order and have attempted to do the 
upgrade
from RH9 to Fedora Core 2 without much success this afternoon. I went 
through
this four times so far with the same result. The install runs smoothly 
and when
I'm done it tells me to remove the media and reboot.

That part works but the Grub menu only shows the old RH-9 kernel 2.4 
option. In fact I haven't been able to find the 2.6 kernel installed on 
my hard drive. It
appears that I'm still running RH-9 to write this message. [# uname -a
Linux box1 2.4.20-8 #1 Thu Mar 13 17:54:28 EST 2003 i686 i686 i386 
GNU/Linux]

I thought well I'll find the RPM on Disk One and install the new kernel 
from there,
can't do that either since now it tells me /dev/cdrom "is not a block 
device,"
whatever that means, I've seen that before but don't know what to do to 
fix it? The
CDROM has always worked until I ran this install.

I have a 20 G hard drive with 23% used, 384 megs of RAM and /etc/fstab 
looks
ok to me:

[root at box1 root]# cat /etc/fstab

/dev/hda2               /mnt/hda2               auto    defaults        0 0
/dev/hda3               /mnt/hda3               auto    defaults        0 0
/dev/hda1               /mnt/dos                auto    noauto,owner    0 0

Oh yes, the MD5SUM tests show pass for all four disks.

What have I done wrong? Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks.
