When you get the grub boot screen hit the 'c' key. You should get a 'grub>' prompt from the grub shell. Now set your grub root to your boot partition. Your mail has lost references, so I can no longer find your original post, but perhaps you have to type something like 'root (hd0,1)' if your /boot partition is on /dev/hda2. Press enter and grub should tell you what type of file system is on /dev/hda2 (or whatever you selected). Now type 'kernel /' and hit the tab key. See what it says. If it does not list vmlinuz-2.4.18-bf2.4 then look for the right kernel name. Go ahead and fill out the root and ro parameters. Hit enter. Then boot. I'm sorry if I'm not helping much here....I've lost track since I can't find your original post. Best regards, Shyamal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
