I wonder if you can help me.

I have a dual boot system that has Win XP Pro, Ubuntu 6.06 & Fedora Core
5. However, I cannot boot into FC5 when I select it from the Grub menu.

This is the description of my HD setup.

First disk is entirely for Windows XP Pro

Second disk is for Linux, I have Ubuntu & FC5 setup on the disk in the
following partitions :-

1. Ubuntu ext3 /
5. Ubuntu ext3 /home
6. Ubuntu swap swap

2. FC5 extended /home
3. FC5 ext3 /
4. FC5 swap swap


I am using Grub. Windows & Ubuntu both boot fine. However, I cannot boot
into Fedora Core 5 and I do not know what to do to solve my problem.
When I select FC5 from the grub menu I get the following error message(s)
:-

Mount: Could not find filesystem '/dev/root'
Setuproot: Moving /dev failed no such file or directory.

I hope you can help me.

I appreciate any help or information given.

Thanks!

Alas, my crystal ball is in the shop for recalibration after the Karnak
Conference. Please post the contents of /boot/grub/menu.lst located in
your Ubuntu install.
