I hate wrapping in email programs! Everything on your kernel line
appears on ONE LINE, right? Not wrapped as it appears above?
You will need to change the UUID to match your disk, and whether
or not
you need all of the boot options that I have, you can compare to your
f14 kernel entries in your grub.conf file. All of the options on my f15
kernel line appear verbatim on my f14 kernel lines. And my test system
is currently booted in f15 (or some subset of it. B^)
I have these files in /boot, and I tried to revise entry in grub.conf.
Unfortunately, It complains cannot find /proc/cmdline when booting...
Exact error message please.
The /proc filesystem doesn't get mounted until sometime after the booted
kernel gets running. Why is there a reference to it when booting.
Originally I thought it might be some reference in your initramfs image,
but now I'm not so sure.
Exactly when does this message occur? Have you removed the "quiet" and
"rhgb" options from your kernel line in grub? Its nice to know exactly
what's going on during the boot process when messages like that appear.
How far into the kernel boot process do you actually get?
Please describe in great detail. B^) Ideally I'd like to be there next
to you so I can see for myself. The next best thing would be to capture
it in video and post a link to the .mpg file. Its not more than a few
seconds long, right? B^) B^)
