James,
You came in late to this thread.
In fact his problem was solved by
1)redoing his bootloader
root (hd1,8)
setup (hd1,8)
2) copying his f14 stanza to his f13 grub.conf
Your analysis may be correct re error 18,
but that was when the OP was still badly floundering.
His last response to me was
thank you thank you thank you
which I interpreted meaning he had successfully booted f14.
