That seems like a basic issue that should be documented for anyone who might have more than one copy of the kernel installed, and want to pick which one to run...

It looks like the default changed for Fedora 10, and any key should work but SHIFT is recommended: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f10/en_US/What_is_New_for_Installation_and_Live_Images.html#sn-GRUB Should GRUB be documented in the sysadmin documentation: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Administration_Guide_Draft Or perhaps this appendix to the install guide should be expanded to clarify both these points? http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f11/en-US/html/ch-grub.html It looks like the kernel option syntax is documented: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f11/en-US/html/s1-grub-commands.html but the confusion was differences with: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f11/en-US/html/ap-admin-options.html and neither really links to a list of available kernel options. -B. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
