Error 15 file not found following upgrade to FC11


I (foolishly) opted for the the preupgrade to Fc11.
Now I can't boot as I get an error 15 File not found.

I get the same error for whatever kernel I try to boot
in grub.

I have a CD to boot from and can get into rescue mode.

Help.

Thanks.

I am all set. It turned out that
FC11 preupgrade upgraded kernel but did
not correctly change grub.conf
and menu.lst. I did a list of
kernels in /usr/src/kernels and
they were different from
the list that was in grub.conf and
menu.list.

I manually changed the .conf and .lst
file and then the computer booted.

thanks for sharing the successful result
please click on the "thread tools" above your 1st post and mark as SOLVED
I was going to suggest a look at your menu.lst/grub.conf but you got it
