I am now confused.

How or what do I put in the GRUB menu so that I can boot this machine?




I was told to

When you get the grub menu - try editing (e) - and remove 'rhgb',
'quiet' options - and add '3' and boot (b) to console-only mode.

Now get the latest updates - and reconfigure your X (with
system-config-display)



Here was my problem

Hello all.

I am a newb.  This was my first installation.

I got fedora 3.
successfully verified the MD5sums (after I fiugred out how  :)  ) 
Burned the ISO to disks
Verified the media.
installed.
I installed to a 2nd 6gig HD.
I set up:
1gig swap
101 - root
and the rest x2

Install went smooth.

When I booted for the first time.

It intializes my hardware and then I get this mesg.

Configuring kernel parameters
and it just hangs.
I reboot .. same thing.

It looks like it is trying to switch from text to graphcial.. then it switches
back to text and lists this msg. and just sits there.

I redownload and did a clean install.  Same problem.
