Further to my recent post enclosed is my grub.conf
and a list of the partitions on my disk ...
the custom kernel ..2nd option loads fine
but the new 2.6 kernel crashes when it tries to
access root / .. despite the entry being pretty well identical to that of the custom kernel.
Any comments appreciated
