What you will find is that once you say you think you have found the problem, or someone else on the list give what is probably the answer, that you will not get many more response until you post the results of your test. A big part of this is that we don't want to overload you with different things to try, as well as avoiding giving the same advice 20 times. There are a couple of other factors involved. It may be some time between your posting, and your message getting read. This is especially true on weekends and in cases like this, were there has just been a new version released. The people on this list are not payed to be here, and for the most part, are here in their spare time. In this case, between the time I asked for your grub.conf, and the time I read your post, John had given you a good answer to your problem, so there was not need to respond. This is fairly normal on the list. A lot of troubleshooting ends up being a team effort. Sometimes the questions asked when trying to solve a problem lead to the discovery that the problem was not what the original poster (OP) thought it was. Sometimes answers posted to a problem are widely off the mark - you have to learn who is worth listening to. You will sometimes get sarcastic answers to your questions. Personally, I think answers that teach you how to find the answers to your problem, or teach you something, instead of just giving you the answer are the best answers. Another thing to watch out for is that because Fedora is not targeted at new Linux users, there is a certain level of competence/knowledge that is assumed. So if you get an answer that you do not understand, or contains terms or commands you do not understand, be sure you ask about them. Do not assume because you understand part of the answer, that terms you do not understand are not important. I normally would not be so long-winded, but your post indicated to me that you do not understand how this list works. If I am wrong, I apologize for going over things you already know. In that case, I can only hope that this helps others that are new to the list. Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!
