My mistake. Actually It was Fedora 8. It was just that I was having

The `hdX` nomenclature no longer exists for disk drives. All fixed disks
are now named `sdX`. AFAIR, this changed with Fedora 7.
The hdx nomenclature still exists. If you have PATA disks.
All Sata or SCSI disks were named as sdx.
This nomenclature existed ever since

Are you sure it is /dev/root? Looks like your grub menu list is

I have 80 GB HDD on laptop with Windows XP and SuSE Linix 10.2 installed. A
12 GB partition is free. I installed Sabayon linux on the free partition.
During installation, I added SuSE linux entry with its root partition (I
have made / and /home partitions on the HDD). Post installation, Sa

2. Ubuntu is based on GNU?Linux

Hi,
I have duel boot (Win 98 and Mepis Linus 6.0) on my desktop. Recently I
bought HP Photosmart 3100 MFD. The printer functionality was installed under
Linux without any problem. However, the scanner functionality was not and
the instructions on various websites were too complicated for me.
