Haven't tried live cd - don't have a dvd/cd drive on the box. Plenty of room in the /boot
partition.
/dev/sda1             485M  246M  214M  54% /boot

Grub comes up of the hard disk just fine. If I select thetitle Upgrade to Fedora 14 (Laughlin)
         kernel /boot/upgrade/vmlinuz preupgrade repo=hd::/var/cache/yum/preupgrade ks=hd:/dev/sda1/upgrade/ks.cfg stage2=hd:/dev/sda1/upgrade/install.img
         initrd /boot/upgrade/initrd.img

I just get a flashing cursor in the top left corner of the screen. I can then ctl-alt-del and select the f13 kernel from grub and the
system will boot back into f13.

I was hoping maybe there were some options I could add to the kernel line to make it boot.
