Installed FC3 on 2nd drive 3rd partition grub is on the 1st drive. FC3 boots most of the time from the stock FC3 kernel and initrd.img (often it won't even boot that, I get a kernel oops from something called scsi_eh) So I downloaded the latest 2.6.9 and patched to 2.6.10.rc2 Built with and without initrd and I can't boot to a new kernel. I get to a point in the boot sequence and then it hangs with "Warning: unable to open an initial console" I think that the next step after that is for init to start and do its thing. Has anyone seen this? Is it a problem when installing on separate drive or separate partition? I'm puzzled. Does this type of config require initrd or soemthing? Thanks for any help. Richard
