My kernel line in grub.conf for FC3 is "kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667 psmouse.proto=bare ro root=/dev/hdb7 rhgb quiet". This is for the original kernel and my root partition so yours may differ. If you are worried about messing up grub.conf and not being able to boot, you could copy the whole 4 lines and give it a different title then edit that. This way you get an extra bootup option in the grub list and if you have messed up the edited one you can boot from the original. Hope this helps. Chris
