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. # fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14593 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/sda2 14 267 2040255 82 Linux swap Disk /dev/sdb: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14593 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 1 14593 117218241 83 Linux
