Hi,
I can't boot. It simply does not show me the menu of kernels to choose.
When the problem first manisfested itselfFirst I was getting that loop regarding the 'loading stage2'.
After I tried that grub-install I simply get an infinite loop of beeps!
:(
Here is a set of steps that I distilled from how-to's that has worked for me. It might be worth a try.
Recovery from a screwed MBR (Install GRUB)
1. Boot with a rescue CD Go through the obligatory BS; network not needed 2. Once rescue finds Linux, hit OK. Do NOT do the chroot. Run grub. Then, from the prompt: a. If /boot is an integral part of the / partition: grub> find /boot/grub/stage1 -or- b. If /boot is in a separate partition: grub> find /grub/stage1 -in either case- Grub answers with drive and partition: (hd1,0) 3. Set the root for grub: grub> root (hd1,0) (or whatever returned above) 4. Write the MBR on the 1st drive grub> setup (hd0) (grub will print a bunch of crap, double-checking, and install itself.) 5. Remove the rescue CD and reboot.
When entering the values above, pay close attention to spaces and comma characters!
HTH.
