Hi Dave:
You missed the point of Rainers reply. It is supposed to be CAPITOL letters
for label (LABEL).
You should spellcheck and proofread your posts. What is a gurb.conf file?
That should be grub.conf. I'm not trying to put you down, but a spelling
mistake in a file can cause unexpected results and it's best to check all
your work.
3069? What kernel is that from? Was that a 2.4 kernel?
I would recommend not updating with anything but the stock Fedora repos until
the system is working properly, then add things like livna or dags. This way
you will at least know what the problem is related to.
You might also want to check the archives relevant to the 64 bit 2111 kernel.
I seem to recall seeing some problems about that.
No I didn't miss the point I was just in a hurry. My spell check needs
to have grub.conf added it doesn't seem to be there along with a lot of
other words and acronyms. I did find the problem and correct it, I had
added an IDE drive to a SCSI system and as soon as I removed it
everything worked as it has in the past 13 years that I have been using
Linux.
Thank you for your help.
Dave
