I just recovered from the same situation - and your grub.conf confirms it is very likely the same problem I had. The latest kernel update 2.6.25.3-18.fc9 - or one of the 199 files updated at the same time - rewrote grub.conf so that (in my case) the line which should have read: kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.25.3-18.fc9.x86_64 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet actually read: kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.25.3-18.fc9.x86_64 ro root=UUID=ab562fb5-0a9a-4458-9f30-61c8a23f774a rhgb quiet Somehow my /dev/VolGroup... had been changed to UUID=... The same error had been applied to the previous kernel (2.6.25-14.fc9) so that neither would boot. In short, boot the computer with F9 DVD, choose "Rescue previous installation", press OK to go to CLI, type "chroot /mnt/sysimage", and type "cd boot/grub". "ls" will list, among others, grub.conf. Then type "vi grub.conf" and edit the kernel lines to contain *your* /dev/filesystem instead of your UUID. Then ":write" to save your new grub.conf and ":quit" to exit vi. Once in CLI, type "exit" *twice* and remove the DVD while the system is closing down. It will reboot automatically. <snip> > > Part of my grub.conf > > title Fedora (2.6.25.3-18.fc9.i686.PAE) > root (hd0,0) > kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.25.3-18.fc9.i686.PAE ro root=/dev/VG/rootfs rhgb quiet > initrd /initrd-2.6.25.3-18.fc9.i686.PAE.img > title Fedora (2.6.25.3-18.fc9.i686) > root (hd0,0) > kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.25.3-18.fc9.i686 ro > root=UUID=8741bb6e-dbe0-42c2-a91b-f5e685d70ada rhgb quiet > initrd /initrd-2.6.25.3-18.fc9.i686.img > title Fedora (2.6.25-14.fc9.i686) > root (hd0,0) > kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.25-14.fc9.i686 ro > root=UUID=8741bb6e-dbe0-42c2-a91b-f5e685d70ada rhgb quiet > initrd /initrd-2.6.25-14.fc9.i686.img > > <snip> HTH Antti -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
