dear all!
    i want to edit bootloader configuration for my kernel. i do n't
understand how to modify the grub.conf file. i 'm n't clear to modify
the  " root=LABEL=/ " in grub.conf (i.e. it is  /dev/hda1 or 
/dev/hda2 or something else).( i 'm using Windows XP as other OS on
system.)


My Grub.conf file is :--

# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
#          root (hd0,2)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda5
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=1
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,2)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Fedora Core (2.6.5-1.358)
	root (hd0,2)
	kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.5-1.358 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
	initrd /initrd-2.6.5-1.358.img
title Other
	rootnoverify (hd0,0)
	chainloader +1


My /etc/fstab file  is :--

LABEL=/                 /                       ext3    defaults        1 1

/dev/fd0                /mnt/floppy             auto    noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0

df -a output is :--

I 'm trying to modify the lnux kernel parameters. so; my kernel is
ought to be crashed. is there any shortcut for compiling the linux
kernel. i found very cumbersome that i 've to set parameters every
time i do  " make  config".

Thanking You
Abhijit Kumar
