kernel panic on boot--need grub help

[Mohammed Omar]

hi,

In your menu.lst, I found:

  title           Fedora (2.6.23.1-42.fc8)
  root            (hd1,0)      
  kernel          /vmlinuz-2.6.23.1-42.fc8 ro root=/dev/sdb   //have
  initrd   /initrd-2.6.23.1-42.fc8.img     
savedefault
boot


>> root=/dev/sdb looks wrong... give correct root option, it might be
root=/dev/sdb2   , as sdb1 is /boot partition u mentioned above  
root (hd1,0). If u cannot find exact root=/dev/???, check /etc/fstab
entry by going to grub> prompt. And initrd line is needed.


--thanks
