FC3 - Computer stuck in continual reboot loop


I just got done installing FC3 and my computer just loops reboots. As soon as the "Loading grub stage 2" message is displayed the computer reboots.

Ok, so that means something is up with grub... no biggie. I load rescue mode from the CD and change a few settings in my grub.conf file to remove anything I think may be causing a problem but, it's still doing it.

Anyone have an idea?

Thanks!

Alright, after going back and looking at grub.conf again, I found the problem.

I just deleted everything I didn't need and just left this:

boot=/dev/hda
default=1
timeout=5
title FC3
root (hd0,4)
kernel /blahblahblah
initrd /blahblha
title WinXP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

And that fixed it. Oh well... Sorry for wasting forum space!
