Did you check if the grub.conf file has some wrong information? For example, the root partition is sda7? Did you have a boot partition? Is /etc/fstab consistent? If you can get to the grub menu, you also have the boot console (by pressing 'c'), so you could try things there. -- Roberto Ragusa mail at robertoragusa.it -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
