error 15 on startup, file not found

[eriksays]

i just ugraded to fedorca core 2, and upgraded the grub boot loader as well.

now when i attempt to startup, after the grub loader, i get

Booting 'Fedora Core (2.4.22-1.2197.nptl)'

root(hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /vmlinux-2.4.22-1.2197.nptl ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb

Error 15: File not found

Press any key to continue.....


so, after some googling, it appears this may have to do with the grub boot loader configuration.

any suggestions on fixing this?

Error 15:
This error is returned if the specified file name cannot be found,
but everything else (like the disk/partition info) is OK

What does your grub.conf file have in it? It might be trying to load the 'wrong' kernel. I'm pretty sure FC2 would be using a 2.6 series kernel and not an old 2.4 series kernel...

thanks,

i did update the grub.conf to 2.6.5-1.358 but still no luck.

any other suggestions?

so, looking at the filesystem, i can't find

/initrd/-2.6.5-1.358.nptl.img

???

i've never seen a directory /initrd. initrd-2.6.5-1.358.nptl.img should be in /boot somewhere.
