Hi, I installed FC3 with root filesystem and swap partition not inside the "Linux LVM", that is, /dev/hda1 as /boot, /dev/hda2 as /, and /dev/hda3 as swap partition. But after I installed the original kernel linux-2.6.9 and configured the grub.conf with kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9 ro root=/dev/hda2 rhgb quiet the booting always hangs after "uncompress linux, successful" Could anybody please help me? Thank you. Gang
