Hi Robert,<br><br>I've tried that.<br><br>My /boot is located in a different partition than / so...<br><br>grub>find /grub/stage1<br>(hd0,0)<br>(hd1,0)<br>(hd2,0)<br><br>grub> root (hd0,0) <-- i've tried also the hd1,0 with the same results
<br>grub> setup (h0,0)<br>checking if /boot/grub/stage1 exists...yes<br>checking if /boot/grub/stage2 exists...yes<br>
checking if /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 exists...yes<br>
Running embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0) 16 sectors succeeded<br>Running install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+16p (hd1,0)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/grub.conf succeeded<br>
<br>But no luck with boot. Still a loop but this time nothing appears...<br><br><div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><br>Recovery from a screwed MBR (Install GRUB)
<br><br>1. Boot with a rescue CD<br> Go through the obligatory BS; network not needed<br>2. Once rescue finds Linux, hit OK. Do NOT do the chroot. Run grub.<br>Then, from the prompt:<br> a. If /boot is an integral part of the / partition:
<br> grub> find /boot/grub/stage1<br> -or-<br> b. If /boot is in a separate partition:<br> grub> find /grub/stage1<br> -in either case-<br> Grub answers with drive and partition: (hd1,0)
<br>3. Set the root for grub:<br> grub> root (hd1,0) (or whatever returned above)<br>4. Write the MBR on the 1st drive<br> grub> setup (hd0)<br> (grub will print a bunch of crap, double-checking, and install itself.)
<br>5. Remove the rescue CD and reboot.<br><br>When entering the values above, pay close attention to spaces and comma<br>characters!<br><br>HTH.<br><br><br><br>><br>> On<br>><br>><br>><br>> Can you boot into any of these?
