Or you can't get that far... Sounds like Grub is messed up. Burn a Fedora 9 DVD ISO and boot into recovery mode. When you get to a shell, type: grub Depending on where your boot partition resides, you will need to specify the corresponding device. For example, my boot partition resides on /dev/sda1, so I would type: root (hd0,0) If my boot partition happened to live on partition number 6, then it would be (hd0,5), etc. Then type: setup (hd0) Type quit and then exit to reboot. Any luck? Type fdisk -l and what is the output? Or you can’t get that far…

I didn't lose my Fedora 8 installation. Do I need to have a look at menu.lst and check/modify something there? (It looks like a classic case of it not finding the kernel at boot.) Don Ben,
