Hide Forgot
I upgraded from F14 to F15 using yum, via the instructions on the wiki. After the upgrade, grub doesn't let me interrupt to select a non-default kernel. I.e., when it says what kernel it's going to boot and is counting down, it won't interrupt the countdown and give me a menu regardless of what key I hit. Here's my grub.conf: # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. # root (hd0,0) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/mapper/vg_jik2-lv_root # initrd /initrd-[generic-]version.img #boot=/dev/sda default=0 timeout=8 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu # rhgb quiet title Fedora (2.6.38.8-32.fc15.x86_64) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.38.8-32.fc15.x86_64 ro root=/dev/mapper/vg_jik2-lv_root noiswmd LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us initrd /initramfs-2.6.38.8-32.fc15.x86_64.img title Fedora (2.6.35.13-92.fc14.x86_64) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.35.13-92.fc14.x86_64 ro root=/dev/mapper/vg_jik2-lv_root noiswmd LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us initrd /initramfs-2.6.35.13-92.fc14.x86_64.img title Fedora (2.6.35.13-91.fc14.x86_64) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.35.13-91.fc14.x86_64 ro root=/dev/mapper/vg_jik2-lv_root noiswmd LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us initrd /initramfs-2.6.35.13-91.fc14.x86_64.img
BTW, it's a ps/2 keyboard.
I removed hiddenmenu from my grub config, and now I can see the menu, but I still can't move the cursor up or down to select a different kernel. I tried reinstalling grub with grub-install and it didn't help.
I had the keyboard plugged into the mouse port. Apparently X / the kernel can deal with this but the BIOS and grub can't. My bad.
