    This is the first problem I've had with redhat in a very long time.
    I'm installing rh8 on a system that was running rh7 with no problem for
    three years.
    I wiped the drive and installed rh8 but it won't boot.
    Here's the layout.
    /dev/hda1 /boot
    /dev/hda2 /

    grub.conf

    #boot=/dev/hda
    default=0
    timeout=10
    splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
    title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-14)
            root (hd0,0)
            kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 ro root=LABEL=/
            initrd /initrd-2.4.18-14.img

    Filesystem is set for ext3 but when the system boots this is what I get.

    root (hd0,0)
     Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
    Kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 ro root=LABEL=/
     [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1400, size=0x11154a]

    I've tried chaging the BIOS around and have wipe the drive with a winblow
    boot disk and fdisk /mbr still nothing

    I need this system up ASAP

    TIA

    Jason
