You don't. You are missing at least 2 lines at the top, and one line is duplicated, which probably is not an error. The two lines you are missing are: default 0 fallback 1 And you should have left the previous kernel entry below this one so it could be entry #1. Restore it to grub.conf if it still exists in the /boot partition. Grub uses a base zero numbering system, and I have not found an upper limit, having had as many as 30 entries in mine back when I had a 250 megabyte /boot partition. >-- >Antonio Montagnani >Skype : antoniomontag -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
