It should have a structure like this: kernel /vmlinuz ro root= Where the root parameter points to wherever "/" is located. It could be referred to by UUID, labels, or partition details. There can, also, be other parameters, like rhgb or quiet, but they're not needed to boot. e.g. kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.25-14.fc9.x86_64 ro root=LABEL=systemroot or, kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.25-14.fc9.x86_64 ro root=/dev/sda2 or, kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.25-14.fc9.x86_64 ro root=UUID=sdf-dfgd-ewrew-rewq but replacing my label, device ID, or random UUID examples with your actual ones. I'd expect you to see some sort of error message without having any referral to where to find the root partition. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.5-37.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
