At which point does it say that?
Do you get as far as the grub menu?
Partition type 0x5 is an 'Extended' partition. (/dev/sda4 or
equivalent, usually) - this suggests to me that your grub.conf is
incorrect, probably containing a line similar to
root (hd0,3)
But you can see this (I hope) by hitting 'e' at boot time, assuming you
get as far as the grub countdown/menu.
Grub.conf is as follows:
root (hd1,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64 ro
root=UUID=1acff5c4-7a23-414a-9e04-f356c64e24bd rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64.img
device.map is as follows:
(hd0) /dev/sda
(hd1) /dev/sdb
When it tries to boot, I get the following (it skips the grub menu --
it's the only install there):
root (hd1,0)
fs type unknown, partition type 0x5.
okay, what I would do here is use the grub console to find /boot...
in case you don't know how:
hit 'c' to bring up the console
type root (hd <TAB>
grub should fill in the disks it can see (hopefully hd0/1/2)
for each of those, try
root (hdX,<TAB>
which should give you the partition layouts and types
then for each of the (hdX,0) partitions, try
kernel (hdX,0)/ <TAB>
one of them should have your vmlinuz-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64 file on
it. use that one in your "root (hdX,0)" statement.
hit <ESC> to get back to the menu and edit the 'root' statement
accordingly. See if it works after that.
I think, from your previous post, that you may be pointing grub at what
you think is sdc, which may only have
sdc1 - Extended
sdc5 - first logical partition
on it.
I had a similar issue with the installer seeing my disks in a different
order to what I expected.

Stuart
