That sounds bad. Are you trying to access the right drive & partition?
Are you doing this on a system with a FAT16 partition? (e.g. A Windows
recovery partition).
Run the "fdisk -l" command, and list all the partitions that are on your
drive.
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.23.15-80.fc7 r0 root=/dev/volGroup00/ rhgb quite
You have some errors in the above text. If you've cut and pasted,
rather than just typed that out by hand, fixing the errors might get you
back on track.
"r0" should be "ro" (read only)
"quite" should be "quiet" (show less messages while booting, but in your
case, you should probably remove the keyword and see all the messages
that the system can tell you)
The errors are my fault, I typed. I did not know any way copy directly.
You give me the solution by questioning the number of partition and fat16
that remind me, one time I had used partition magic 8 to install the boot
magic it made a small partition fat16 because it could not install on NTFS
partition.
The solution happen to be very simple I edit the line "(root hd0,1) and
change 1 to 2 the change is temporary but good enough to copy all data
needed, then I installed f9 from the i386 iso disk which work perfectly.
thank you so very much, you guys are the greatest
Vinny
