!down upside read don't I, post top not do Please Kahn Seidl: > /dev/hda1 1 1912 15358108+ 7 HPFS/NTFS > /dev/hda2 1913 1925 104422+ 83 Linux > /dev/hda3 * 1926 3850 15462562+ 83 Linux > /dev/hda4 3851 7296 27679995 5 Extended > /dev/hda5 3851 7296 27679963+ 8e Linux LVM Looks like hda3 is the /boot partition, unless you've accidentally made the wrong partition active. I'd be guessing your partitions are something like this: hd0,0 or hda1 Windows hd0,1 or hda2 something for Linux hd0,2 or hda3 /boot hd0,4 or hda5 logical volume containing / and most other partitions And I'd expect grub.conf to be something like: root (hd0,2) kernel /vmlinuz-something ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 initrd /initrd-something.img (With the "something" being whatever version numbers for your installed kernel. Boot the rescue disc and list the contents of the partitions to find what's on them.) On the other hand, if hda2 is your /boot partition, try replacing "root (hd0,2)" with "root (hd0,1)". > please note this is from a freshly installed fc4, not fc3. I would like to > retrieve my fc3 back. Huh? You've installed 4, this is 4, onto the same drive replacing it, and you want us to help you get 3 back? How? ... Argh, top posting with lots of unnecessary extra included. It's a bugger to read, and means huge bloated messages on a message list with LOTS of traffic. Not a good thing. Trim out extra stuff, reply below the parts you're directly replying to. It makes life easier for everyone, particularly those most likely to help you. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
