So you reinstalled, but it still won't boot from the initial kernel that anaconda gives you. What messages do you see when you remove the rhgb and quiet from the kernel arguments at boot time? i.e. we don't know that the initramfs file is bad... that was something someone said *could* be wrong. Still, if you've convinced yourself that's the problem and want to remake that file system, just don't use the $(uname -r) variable. Run e.g. # mv /boot/initramfs-2.6.33.3-85.fc13.i.686.PAE.img /boot/initramfs-2.6.33.3-85.fc13.i.686.PAE.img.old # dracut /boot/initramfs-2.6.33.3-85.fc13.i.686.PAE.img 2.6.33.3-85.fc13.i.686.PAE instead (both of those commands should be single lines that begin with the root-access prompt '#'... the email programs wrap them at arbitrary lengths... typically between 65 and 72 characters in length). The first command 'moves' the original file to having the extension "old" so you can compare it to the new one after it's created by the second command. What size is the current /boot/initramfs-2.6.33.3-85.fc13.i.686.PAE.img file, by the way? -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
