    I am now confused.

    How or what do I put in the GRUB menu so that I can boot this machine?

    I was told to

    When you get the grub menu - try editing (e) - and remove 'rhgb',
    'quiet' options - and add '3' and boot (b) to console-only mode.

    Now get the latest updates - and reconfigure your X (with
    system-config-display)

    Here was my problem

    Hello all.

    I am a newb. This was my first installation.

    I got fedora 3.
    successfully verified the MD5sums (after I fiugred out how :) )
    Burned the ISO to disks
    Verified the media.
    installed.
    I installed to a 2nd 6gig HD.
    I set up:
    1gig swap
    101 - root
    and the rest x2

    Install went smooth.

    When I booted for the first time.

    It intializes my hardware and then I get this mesg.

    Configuring kernel parameters
    and it just hangs.
    I reboot .. same thing.

    It looks like it is trying to switch from text to graphcial.. then it switches
    back to text and lists this msg. and just sits there.

    I redownload and did a clean install. Same problem.
