Here is my grub file. The boot partition is /dev/sda1. That should
be hd0,0, right ? The root partition is sda2. That should be
hd0,1, right ?
Does anyone see anything wrong with my grub setup ?
I don't understand how installing an f12 kernel and then uninstalling
it could still result in a machine that won't boot. Does f12 assume
an ext4 filesystem or something ? df thinks my file systems are all
ext3.
Thanks
