FDC3 only boots to grub prompt
 

I installed Fedora Core 3 on an HP DL380 \w Smart Array Controller 5i. I then got updates using yum. The problem I've run into is that on startup the system boots to the grub prompt only. I have to manually type the commands to get the system to load.
ex.
grub>root(hd0,0) <enter>
grub>kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.14_FC3smp ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet <enter>
grub>initrd /initrd-2.6.11-1.14_FC3smp.img <enter>
grub>boot <enter>

Systems starts. These are the exact same entries that are in my grub.conf but I don't get the menu or the splashimage.


Here is my grub.conf after yum updates:

Any suggestions. I have another DL380 with FDC3, with no problems.

try:

The boot location boot=/dev/cciss/c0d0 caught my eye. Is the boot location different on the other system?

Grub problem
 

The boot device is the same on both systems
boot=/dev/cciss/c0d0

grub boots to prompt
 

Hi,
I rebooted and at the grub prompt did the following:

root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
the reboot

That worked, now I have 4 kernel choices at the menu!

Thanks.
