Thank you for the reply. I try to run your line using rescue disk this
is the answer:
find: '/lib/modules/2.6.33.3-85.fc13.i686/':no such file or directory 
find: '/lib/modules/2.6.33.3-85.fc13.i686/':no such file or directory 
find: '/lib/modules/2.6.33.3-85.fc13.i686/':no such file or directory 
find: '/lib/modules/2.6.33.3-85.fc13.i686//kernel/drivers':no such file
or directory 
find: '/lib/modules/2.6.33.3-85.fc13.i686/':no such file or directory 
find: '/lib/modules/2.6.33.3-85.fc13.i686/':no such file or directory 

I don't know what this means, the
file /boot/initramfs-2.6.33.3-85.fc13.i686.img is there
I try to open grub.conf it would not let me. if there is any other Idea
I would like to try.
