good?
I really do not know if "LABEL=/home1" device specification will
work in this context. It might but that would depend on what really
happens in initrd.img you are using. Try and see.
I prefer to be explicit in such situations, i.e.
kernel (hd0,2)/isolinux17/vmlinuz ...
initrd (hd0,2)/....
but if 'root' is set correctly this should not matter.
It is easy to experiment with all these details from a 'grub>' prompt
while booting. Your interactive adjustments are not permanent but
this is not that important here.
It would be if I were that good a typist.
If I were that good a typist this thread
would have been named F16 vs Pentium 4.
'Twas suggested to me that I make an F16 install image with a new kernel,
but that would involve a "forward version".
In context, 'twas fairly obvious what that meant,
but I couldn't find a clue how to do it.
In any case I do not have a corresponding iso image on hand so I cannot
go through the whole thing but using vmlinuz and initrd.img from F17 and
booting like the above I am getting at least a dracut debug shell prompt
(after expected here "no suitable images" complaints).
I tried it with /dev and still got crap.
I think it's time for me to give up.
Eventually, I'll replace my DVD burner.
From now on, I'll just have to settle for
letting installers slog through DVDs.
That assumes I don't zap my video card or something again.
This install from hd crap is just too hard.
I've never had an easy time installing, but this is the worst ever.
