Hi, I hope someone out there will be able to help, I think I have a somewhat unique problem. I have installed Fedora Core 2 on my system successfully but when I try to boot it after the install I get as far as the Grub loader, and then it just sits there. For reference I am *NOT* dual booting or anything like it, the system has a single IDE hard disk (no floppy drive) which is used by FC2 only. Whenever I attempt to boot the system, it loads the GRUB loader and gives me the option to select the kernel I want to boot (obviously only one available), then shows the following: Booting 'Fedora Core (2.6.5-1.358)' root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.5-1.358 ro root=/dev/hda2 [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1400, size=0x1235b7] initrd /initrd-2.6.5-1.358.img [Linux-initrd @ 0x2ffb2000, 0x2d9b1 bytes] ..and that's it. No "Uncompressing the kernel".. nothing.. just a flashing cursor. I've tried rebooting several times as well as reinstalling, allowing Disk Druid to automatically partition the drive, tried installing GRUB on the MBR or First Boot Sector, etc to no avail. I'm totally stumped as its not a complex configuration and in terms of hardware installed all that's in the PC is a plain graphics card and a network card. There is nothing out of the ordinary. I have never had these problems installing Red Hat 9 and have installed RH9 on several PCs without this issue. Anyone got any suggestions? Thanks, Darren
