I just installed fedora 8 on my AMD 64 X2 box using a live x64 DVD, set it to install from my Kubuntu hard disk (sda), and did not choose the option to reinstall grub.(Woe is me.) I figured that I would edit /boot/grub/menu.lst where Kubuntu keeps the grub boot list.So far, I have only gotten kernel panics. I would reinstall Fedora from the live DVD and choose to reinstall grub on the kubuntu disk, but the mouse pointer now disappears after I enter the user name. So, I need help from someone's grub.conf file, (or help with disappearing mouse pointer?) In my menu.lst, I have: title Fedora (2.6.23.1-42.fc8) root (hd1,0) // second hard drive, first partition kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.23.1-42.fc8 ro root=/dev/sdb //have tried 'root=LABEL=/' also without 'ro' initrd /initrd-2.6.23.1-42.fc8.img //have tried without initrd line savedefault boot In grub interactive itself, grub finds the kernel, but at the initrd line gives error 16: inconsistent file structure or something like that. Can anyone get this fedora to boot? Really want it for the newest alsa drivers Many thanks geoffrey
