New install GRUB cannot boot Kernel.

After a new fresh install booting grub gives me an invalid device message, however, the fail safe works...

Heres my grub.conf

# (0) Arch Linux
title  Arch Linux
root   (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz26 
root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/21c4e847-9a48-4901-8ccc-5214ccc10d7f ro
initrd /kernel26.img

# (1) Arch Linux
title  Arch Linux Fallback
root   (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/21c4e847-9a48-4901-8ccc-5214ccc10d7f ro
initrd /kernel26-fallback.img

Thanks in advanced,
Rich

Re: New install GRUB cannot boot Kernel.

That's because you have an extra line feed between your vmlinuz26 and root for the regular login entry. This is what it should look like.

# (0) Arch Linux
title  Arch Linux
root   (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/21c4e847-9a48-4901-8ccc-5214ccc10d7f ro
initrd /kernel26.img

# (1) Arch Linux

root   (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/21c4e847-9a48-4901-8ccc-5214ccc10d7f ro
initrd /kernel26-fallback.img

There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !
