OK, I have found a very reproducible issue on my system. Don't know for sure if it is a Grub issue or Kernel. I believe that it is Grub because I have four Kernels on my system and all produce the same response now.

What is the opinion of this forum?

That's no evidence at all that the problem is grub. You also failed to mention which kernels you are seeing this with. I saw that show up with several recent kernels. Oddly, it was also inconsistent. Sometimes the same kernel that failed as above would then successfully boot on the next try. Anyhow, I think I did see some discussion about that. Check the archives. The latest kernel (1268) seems to have solved the problem for me.

Correction (after reading Peter's response):
The last 'yum update' fixed my problem. My bad for assuming it was the kernel.

Neither -- udev was updated and had a broken udevstart.static, so the initrd failed to make /dev .
(also, this was fixed in the rawhide-20050427 tree this morning)

Peter,
Looks as though you are exactly correct. This was happening with every Kernel on my machine 1226, 1258, 1267, and 1267. Udev would have issues with every start but only would panic the Kernel sometimes. So far this morning with the new Kernel 1268, and new udev I have not received a udev failure or Kernel panic.
Thanx, Don

In the official release of Fedora Core 4, this problem exists and stops me cold. Please, tell me how to get Fedora Core 4 working?
Thanks, Ernest

Well, it's highly unlikely this is the same error, so can you show us what your screen says when things stop working properly?

No volume groups found Unable to find volume group "VolGroup00" ERROR: /bin/lvm exited abnormally! (pid 483)
Resolution: =========================================================================== For a laptop LVM is probably not necessary. So, I reinstalled FC4 with basic partitioning (i.e. No LVM!!)
Everything is perfect now with respect to booting. ============================================================================
I will try the FC4 install on my Desktop next nd see what happens with respect to lvm.
PS: When I installed FC3 on my laptop, with the lvm partitioning everything worked great.
