Comment the line that says hiddenmenu (add # in front) and you will see the choices norhgbquiet is not a valid option...simply remove the entire thing (the words no, rhgb and quiet) >From your other e-mail... # fdisk -l /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 36.7 GB, 36703934464 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4462 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 2676 21494938+ 83 Linux /dev/sda2 2677 3163 3911827+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda3 3164 4462 10434217+ 83 Linux which makes /dev/sda1 way larger than just a /boot volume so I'm sort of confused what you actually have there. If after booting Fedora 5, you do something like this as root... mkdir /mnt/sda1 mkdir /mnt/sda3 mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/sda3 I'd be interested to know what you got as a result of these commands... ls -l /mnt/sda1 ls -l /mnt/sda3 and I'm gathering that you must be using 36 GB SCSI disks because on a Fedora 5 boot, if these were not scsi disks, they would likely be /dev/hda|/dev/hdb Craig -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
