What I notice is strange about your grub.conf is that you have no initrd in the default boot entry (the Fedora F14 kernel). This seems wrong, as the system will have no way of booting. And it doesn't exist in your boot partition (no initramfs), so you can't just add the line. > title Fedora (2.6.35.6-48.fc14.x86_64) > root (hd0,0) > kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.35.6-48.fc14.x86_64 ro > root=/dev/mapper/vg_fb09c2-lv_root rd_LVM_LV=vg_fb09c2/lv_root > rd_LVM_LV=vg_fb09c2/lv_swap rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM > LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc > KEYTABLE=de rhgb quiet I'm not sure how you can use dracut to create one unless the system is actually running. And you can't reinstall the kernel to pick up the original initramfs without the system actually running either. It seems the upgrade left you high and dry. Maybe someone more knowledgeable than me will be able to think of a way to create the initramfs. There used to be a program called mkinitrd but I think it is obsolete as of F14. Here is a sample command that you could run with dracut to generate a custom initramfs named dracut-<kernel version>. Run in /boot. /sbin/dracut -f -H -v --debug dracut-2.6.35.6-48.fc14.x86_64.img 2.6.35.6-48.fc14.x86_64 > dracut_output 2>&1 It writes the output of the process to the file dracut_output in the current directory. You would then reference this file in an initrd line in the grub.conf file. -- 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
