Hello, I managed to wipe out my /boot directory while trying to back it up to cd. I reinstalled the kernel and grub files but have no: /grub/splash.xpm.gz or: /initrd/2.6.16-1.2122_FC5.img Where can i find these? What is ?: /initrd/2.6.16-1.2122_FC5.img My grub.conf file: # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. # root (hd0,0) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 # initrd /initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/sda default=1 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz #hiddenmenu title Memtest86+ v1.65 kernel /memtest86+-1.65 title Fedora Core 5 (2.6.16-1.2122_FC5smp) root (hd1,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5smp ro root=/dev/VolGroup01/LogVol00 rhgb quiet initrd /initrd/2.6.16-1.2122_FC5.img My boot dir: [root@corefive boot]# ls config-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5smp System.map-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5smp grub vmlinuz-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5smp memtest86+-1.65 My grub dir: [root@corefive grub]# ls device.map grub.conf reiserfs_stage1_5 vstafs_stage1_5 e2fs_stage1_5 iso9660_stage1_5 stage1 xfs_stage1_5 fat_stage1_5 jfs_stage1_5 stage2 ffs_stage1_5 minix_stage1_5 ufs2_stage1_5 -ron-
