First issue, no idea..

Second issue.. the string is SMP and it designates the kernel that supports
multiple processors. If you have a multi-processor machine, select the SMP
line.

Subject: Windows XP Pro & FC2 - XP won't boot

Situation ...

 

2 HD ... Disk A had fully functional Windows XP install i.e. been using it
for some time.

 

Disk B was unpartitioned ... installed FC2 using all default options for the
GRUB boot loader

 

I can boot to FC2 w/ no problems ... works perfectly ... if I choose XP when
prompted for which OS to load, I get 2 lines from GRUB and then it just sits
there until I power down.

 

Also I get 2 choices for FC2 ... one has pms or psm on the end (can't
remember which) ... they both load fine, but I'm interested in what that
means as well.

 

Thanks for any help I'm still a newbie.
