The boot menu appears but error is displayed regarding unable to mount device Did you check if the grub.conf file has some wrong information? For example, the root partition is sda7? Did you have a boot partition? Is /etc/fstab consistent? If you can get to the grub menu, you also have the boot console (by pressing 'c'), so you could try things there. -- Roberto Ragusa mail at robertoragusa.it -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
