2.6.0-1.104 installed and boots fine. I ran up2date and it installed
107, but didn't boot. I was wondering if anybody else was seeing the
same problem or am I missing something obvious. Error message was that I
needed a valid root= boot option. I checked /etc/grub.conf. It looked
okay. So I went back to the 104 kernel. When I ran up2date today, it
installed the 109 kernel. I rebooted and got the same error message. So
I'm back at 2.6.0-1.104 for now. My /etc/grub.conf looks like this:


# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this
file

#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.

#          initrd /initrd-version.img
