Grub points to wrong kernel...

Grub is on partition with openSuSE, and it points to the wrong Fedora kernel - FC8 kernel, not the F10 pre-upgrade kernel.

Here's menu from Fedora:

Set the line with the 'default' setting to 0. The relevant part should be:

Quote:

...
#boot=/dev/sda
default=0
timeout=5
...

Entries are identified in a numbering scheme starting with 0, so the first entry has the index number 0.

I think I got you confused there T47marcell.

I do not boot with that menu. That's the Fedora menu that the update repository edited when I updated the Fedora version.

This is the menu that I boot with: (notice the LAST entry. I've copied and pasted, BUT, I don't know if that's right, and I do NOT want to find out that it's wrong...) The next to last entry points to the OLD Fedora kernel.

I took the entry selection in red, which I presumed was correct, and added root designation to it from grub command line:

title Upgrade to Fedora 10 (Cambridge)
root (hd3,0)
kernel /boot/upgrade/vmlinuz preupgrade repo=hd::/var/cache/yum/preupgrade stage2=hd:UUID=cc9cedeb-1f14-4cf7-8b4e-ce05acd8c4e7:/boot/upgrade/install.img ks=hd:UUID=cc9cedeb-1f14-4cf7-8b4e-ce05acd8c4e7:/boot/upgrade/ks.cfg
initrd /boot/upgrade/initrd.img

/thread!!!

How do I thank myself?
