I only see the line 

GRUB

and that is all there is no grub prompt
grub>

I used RipLinux-5.3 and booted from the fourth
partition where Fedora resides.  I was confused since
the initial kernel(Fedora 8 Pre-Release) worked, and
the entries 

root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
vs
root=UUID=d82c76e1-bbe7-4a0d-94e9-711b3aea50db

That changed and I do not comprehend what happened.  I
can still boot, but I wondered what happened. 

I'll try your advise on Monday when I get back to the
machine and hope that that will cure it.

Thanks for your advice,

Antonio
