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.
