Heres what I did, I installed Auditor linux, knoppix like distro to hda1. rebooted back into fc2 and reinstalled grub to the mbr, and tried to add auditor to grub.
I can get Auditor to boot, but it goes to kernel panic, and says stuff about Ramdisk [4532 != 32541].
Or something like that. (sorry I don't have exact error)
I am assuming that it has something to do with the ramdisk line, I am not sure if I have it right.
You probably won't need the ram disk part when booting from hard drive.
Try it looking like the Fedora line ....
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.6 ro root=/dev/hda1
Also, if there is a link from vmlinuz-2.6.6 to just vmlinuz then you
can use kernel /boot/vmlinuz ro root=/dev/hda1 and you don't have to worry about updating the grub.conf if you update the kernel
