I am new to Fedora (after trying Centos) but primarily used Mandriva before - for many years.
I have upgraded and installed updates previously and this is not proving to be easy for Fedora.
Below is a copy of a long Grub.cfg
I can only boot from 'Fedora (3.1.4-1.fc16.x86_64)' and of course Windows XP.
I upgraded as requested and then after that could only access 3.1.4-1
First should I worry about this? The programme runs OK.
Second Can I delete the references to the other kernels in grub?
Third Is editing the Grub.cfg a solution to the boot problem - I have always upgraded as and when available and am a little uneasy if I cannot.
