I have a hard time believing that 2.6.0-test kernels have this bug. There must be something else going on here. This is my grub.conf file:
# grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg. # root (hd0,7) # kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda8 # initrd /boot/initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/hda default=1 timeout=10 splashimage=/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-19.8) root (hd0,7) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-19.8 ro root=/dev/hda8 vga=792 initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.20-19.8.img title Red Hat Linux (2.6.0-test2-0808) root (hd0,7) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.0-test2-0808 ro root=/dev/hda8 vga=792
