Re: How do a fix a non working kernel installation ?

All traces of the f12 kernel have been removed without errors via rpm.
 My computer still won't boot.

When I run fdisk on sda (the hard disk), partition 1 is still set to
boot and the ID is still 83/Linux.  Everything looks good.

Why won't my computer boot ?
