Installation of FC T2: GRUB interactive on 1st install andGRUBhang on 2nd install

[Daniel B. Thurman]

Hi all,

I did a little more researching but nothing gave me any
clues to what is going on and why GRUB hangs...  I inserted
CD1 and ran linux rescue and found:

My drives and partitions are:
/dev/hda1	/boot  (active)
/dev/hdb3	/

/etc/grub.conf
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# ... blah, blah...
#boot=/dev/hda1
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Fedora Core (2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1)
	root (hd0,0)
	kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb
	initrd /initrd-2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1.img

The above configuration file is correct, so... why
is GRUB hanging when starting up?

All I get on a boot up is all the usual pc bootup text,
then after that a cleared screen with a black background
and 4 characters in white:

GRUB[]

where [] is the block-cursor.

Best regards,
Dan
