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 # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. # root (hd0,0) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda2 # initrd /initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/hda default=0 timeout=10 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz title Fedora Core (2.6.0-1.109) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.0-1.109 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb initrd /initrd-2.6.0-1.109.img title Fedora Core (2.6.0-1.107) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.0-1.107 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb initrd /initrd-2.6.0-1.107.img title Fedora Core (2.6.0-1.104) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.0-1.104 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb initrd /initrd-2.6.0-1.104.img title Fedora Core (2.4.22-1.2135.nptl) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2135.nptl ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb initrd /initrd-2.4.22-1.2135.nptl.img title Fedora Core (2.4.22-1.2129.nptl) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2129.nptl ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb initrd /initrd-2.4.22-1.2129.nptl.img title Fedora Core (2.4.22-1.2115.nptl) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb initrd /initrd-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl.img ~ ~ thanks for any help.
