Description of problem:
I had originally submitted this bug under bug # 139553 as a kernel
problem. It was reassigned as a grub bug. I worked out the grub issue
and now that bug was reassigned as a kernel bug. I marked that bug as
resolved at am submitting this one to clarify the problem. The
situation is that I installed FC3 on a 2nd SATA 120G drive and was
then unable to get back to my FC2 installation on the 1rst 120G SATA
drive. It hangs at displaying:

Red Hat nash version 3.5.22 starting

I have tried installing grub on both drives because I wasn't convinced
that grub was being installed correctly but got the same results.
Also, I'm not sure if I am just doing something wrong but I am not
able to mount the directory structure on the 1rst drive beyond the
root directory.

Version-Release number of selected component (FC3 on 2nd drive):
kernel-2.6.9-1.681_FC3

Version-Release number of selected component (FC2 on 1rst drive):
kernel-2.6.8-1.521

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Just can't boot to FC2 installation from grub.
2.
3.
    

Actual Results:  hangs at:

Red Hat nash version 3.5.22 starting

Expected Results:  Boot into FC2 installation.

Additional info:

If someone could tell me how to access the data I need on the 1rst
drive I wouldn't care to save the FC2 installation so much.

An update has been released for Fedora Core 3 (kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) which

This bug has been automatically closed as part of a mass update.
It had been in NEEDINFO state since July 2005.
If this bug still exists in current errata kernels, please reopen this bug.

There are a large number of inactive bugs in the database, and this is the only

Thank you.
