I do see it referenced but unused in my Fedora grub.conf: # NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg. # root (hd0,2) # kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda3 # initrd /boot/initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/sda Note that the last line is commented out!

The errors you mention at the end would suggest that if you browse to "/dev/sda8"/boot you would not find kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.23.12-52.fc7. To find out, boot into a working linux partition, make a directory in /media called sda8 (humm - can you boot to an extended partition??) and then mount using mount -t ext3 /dev/sda8 /media/sda8. Then become root and browse to the disk using cd /media/sda8/boot (or nautilus as root) and look for kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.23.12-52.fc7. > > > title Fedora (2.6.21-1.3194.fc7) > root (hd0,7) > kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 ro root=/dev/sda8 rhgb > quiet selinux=0 > initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7.img > > > I have not problem to boot on: 2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 > With the new kernel, if I put: > kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.23.12-52.fc7 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet > selinux=0 > > if fails because it try to boot on a /dev/sdb, so I force it to boot on > /dev/sda8, but I get: > Do you have "root (hd0,7)" in the stanza? I guess if you do I wonder what gparted gets (using device sda) if you issue the "print" command. I also wonder if you can boot from this partition if it is extended. > setuproot: moving /dev failed No such file or directory > setuproot: error mounting /proc > setuproot: error mounting /sys > > In what these 2 kernels are so different ? > > Regards > > --- > ========================================================================== > Patrick DUPRE | | > Department of Chemistry | | Phone: (44)-(0)-1904-434384 > The University of York | | Fax: (44)-(0)-1904-432516 > Heslington | | > York YO10 5DD United Kingdom | | email: pd520@xxxxxxxxxx > ========================================================================== > > -- > fedora-list mailing list > fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list > Good Hunting!
