Reboot the system, pick FC8 Install
After booting the F8 kernel, I get the following:

Can you tell me what I might be doing wrong?


You may want to read http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Do not know commands used from my example, do not know contents of
menu.lst. No idea if you verified md5 or sha1 sums of iso after
downling from internet before trying the install. You know little
things which someone would need to see where you dink up something.

If everything is correct, I have no idea.

I installed FC8 a week ago, and had to re-install FC7 again last night.
Both fc7/fc8 installs are running fine on my system.

grub snippet
title fedora_iso
root (hd1,0)
kernel /spare/vmlinuz ro vga=791
initrd /spare/initrd.img

I downloaded the iso into my /local/spare directory which is in my
second drive, first partition.


OK, thanks for helping. Going to try again.
