Well... it does... I did set up a symbolic link to . (boot -> .) I've also tried doing root (hd0,0) kernel /vmliuz-2.4.5 root=/dev/hda3 single I'll try it again tonight... but I'm sure I've exhausted every possible combination.

I am assuming it DOES NOT mean what drive is going to endup being / (root) once the OS is running but rather the root of all GRUB operations. Is this true? What is the significant difference between: root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.5 root=/dev/hda3 single and: root (hd0,2) kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz-2.4.5 root=/dev/hda3 single > > and it should work fine. > > HTH, > -D > I want to thank all of those who have offered help on this. Can't wait to get it resolved. Chuck
