Multiple Fedora Core 3 installs
|

| Greetings, all.
I have pasted my grub.conf contents below for comment.
I have installed FC3 on an AMD 64 box, both the 32 and 64 bit distros.
First I installed the 32 and then 64. I edited the grub.conf file as
below to add the 32 bit partition information to boot the 32 bit. I
receive an error that referes to the label "root=LABEL=/12" and drop to
the diagnostic prompt. I found some web hits regarding this, but cannot
seem to get the settings tweaked. Please offer any suggestions.
FWIW, the 32 bit did boot (the important lines are copied and pasted
(and unaltered from their installed content) from the 32 bit boot
directory I mounted in 64 bit session) prior to the 64 bit install.
Also, the 32 bit directory is mounted in the 64 bit install at mount
point /32bit in case there is a hint [there].
Thanks in advance.

Try to use actual /dev names instead of labels. Look at your root=/dev/hda9
as an example. In your case, (hd0,11) would be root=/dev/hda12.
I find labels confusing, and they seem to get changed when installing to a
different partition.
