Hi there,
With fedora, you normally point to the kernel directive. Like this:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.30.9-90.fc11.x86_64 ro
root=/dev/mapper/vg_coolzeropc-lv_root rhgb quiet
Here a full example:
title Fedora (2.6.30.9-90.fc11.x86_64)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.30.9-90.fc11.x86_64 ro
root=/dev/mapper/vg_coolzeropc-lv_root rhgb quiet vga=0x31B
initrd /initrd-2.6.30.9-90.fc11.x86_64.img
This should work without problems. Of course, you need to set the
root=/dev/mapper/whatever to your suitable settings. Good luck!
Greetings,
Jim.
