Looks like hda3 is the /boot partition, unless you've accidentally made
the wrong partition active.
Looking at the sizes, I think you may be on to something there.
/dev/hda2 is 100MB, the default size for a /boot partition.
> 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)".
My guess is:
hd0,0 or hda1 Windows
hd0,1 or hda2 /boot (shared between FC3 and FC4?)
hd0,2 or hda3 / for FC3
hd0,4 or hda5 logical volume containing / for FC4
Please boot your rescue CD, mount /dev/hda2 and tell us what files are
there.
