Yep - same error.

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
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
#          root (hd2,0)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/NLogVol02
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd2,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz

title Fedora-base (2.6.21-1.3194.fc7)
        root (hd2,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/NLogVol02 rhgb quiet
        initrd /initrd-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7.img

THEOREM: VI is perfect.
PROOF: VI in roman numerals is 6.  The natural numbers < 6 which divide 6 are
1, 2, and 3. 1+2+3 = 6.  So 6 is a perfect number.  Therefore, VI is perfect.
