So, you've got to fix up FC3, as well as manage to get it to boot. You may well have set your boot partition up so it only suits booting FC4. If you can list the files in it, someone could say. > Here is my grub.conf > > default=0 > timeout=5 > splashimage=(hd0,2)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz > hiddenmenu > title Fedora Core (2.6.11-1.1369_FC4) > root (hd0,2) > kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet > initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.img > title fc3 > root (hd0,1) > kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet > initrd /initrd-2.6.9-1.667.img > title Other > rootnoverify (hd0,0) > chainloader +1 > > I have tried several different variations on that, but always get the kernel > panic. I strongly suggest you stop trying to use labels on a multiboot system. You've probably got two different partitions both labelled as "/". Instead, directly refer to the partition by device or volume group. Since it's the only LVM on the drive, it probably started counting from zero. Also remove the RHGB and quiet options so you can watch what's going on. Try something like the following. title Fedora Core (2.6.11-1.1369_FC4) root (hd0,2) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 ro root=/dev/hda3 initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.img title fc3 root (hd0,1) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667 ro root=root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 initrd /initrd-2.6.9-1.667.img -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
