fc3 install issue

[Eric Kosten]

Steve, the tab key inserts the 2.9.1.6 and I will have to look at the rest.
I don't have it memorized.  I press tab when it calls it in the command.
What it puts in should be the correct kernel if I am correct.  The problem
is that it isn't finding something related to speakup.

Well, that would be because the latest kernel would be different on the
installation that you are doing. You are going to need to use the tab key as
is showen in the howto to help you find the kernel that you are using in
your mkinitrd.

Is this before your reboot the installation?

Is your computer still at this screen? Or have your rebooted since (or
turned it off)?
