Hmmm... I *think* I see what "kernel command line" means ... On one machine, I have this : [root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/grub.conf # 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=0 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title Fedora (2.6.22.5-76.fc7) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.22.5-76.fc7 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.22.5-76.fc7.img title Fedora (2.6.22.4-65.fc7) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.22.4-65.fc7 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.22.4-65.fc7.img [root@localhost ~]# So, iiuc, you're saying to leave a space after 'quiet' both times, and then add "selinux=0" after that space?
