I see 2 possibilities. If there is a separate /boot partition (as I use) then the lines would be ********* title Fedora Core (2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3.img *********** If there is no /boot partition then the alternate form would be correct *********** title Fedora Core (2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3.img *********** Note, that you can use either root-LABEL=/ or root=/dev/hda2, but you cannot mix the LABEL and device name in the same line. Also, I noted that Kahn gave the stanza > title fc3 > root (hd0,2) > kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667 ro root=LABLE=/dev/hda2 rhgb quiet > initrd /initrd-2.6.9-1.667.img which seems incorrect in one other way. The second line [ root (hd0,2) ] likely does not point to /dev/hda2. The way grub works that should point to the 3rd partition on the drive (/dev/hda3). This would imply that /boot is in /dev/hda3 and if so then having the kernel line without the /boot part would be correct. Only Kahn can answer that part. Mine which I showed above as [ root (hd0,0) ] actually points to the /boot partition which is /dev/hda1. Grub starts counting partitions from 0 but the partition table starts counting from 1. > -- > > ======================================================================= > P-K4 > ------------------------------------------- > Aaron Konstam > Computer Science > Trinity University > telephone: (210)-999-7484 >
