Thanks for your reply but it means nothing at all to me! Does it
mean anything to you?

What Mathew has pointed out is the following.
# NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.
# root (hd0,4)
# kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda5
# initrd /boot/initrd-version.img
root(hd0,4) and the lines root(hd0,4) do not match.
title Fedora (2.6.22.5-76.fc7)
root (hd0,5)
kernel vmlinuz-2.6.22.5-76.fc7 ro root=/dev/sda5
initrd initrd-2.6.22.5-76.fc7.img
Try changing the root(hd0,5) to root(hd0,4) and report back SUCCESS/FAILURE. If it for a certain reason, the above suggestion fails, please submit the following
$ su -
Password:
# fdisk -l
and send it to the list.
Thanks,
Antonio
