Greetings, First, thanks for the help I already got and a short summary of what I already said in the original thread. I had fedora 9 x86_64 merrily running on an AMD /ASUS A8N-VM CSM motherboard with nVidia chipset (GE6150). The board died without warning, and I replaced it with the closest equivalent I could find these days around here, that is an ASUS M3N78-EM with GeForce 8300. Now Grub boots the kernel, but right after initrd cannot see the root partition on the hard disk, because it doesn't have the right module (as it was created on the old motherboard, which had a different chipset. See the other thread for details). Now, unlike what I said yesterday, tonight I *may* have a possibility to boot with a F9 x86_64 install DVD in rescue mode (as in "I can't leave home today and my optical drive broke too, but just now I found a friend which can borrow me the DVD and a working optical drive to plug to the board"). Considering this, may I ask you please to sum up again what I should do fix initrd to make it see the root partition through the new chipset? I do know that most of this information is already in the original thread, but I would really appreciate such help, since it was given in a different context. Above all, I'd be much more comfortable if somebody with more competence on this, and with a clearer mind than I have in these hours, could confirm what ought to be done. Thank you all for your patience and help, both the one you gave yesterday and in the future.
