Hi Robert,
I've tried that.
My /boot is located in a different partition than / so...
grub>find /grub/stage1 (hd0,0) (hd1,0) (hd2,0)
grub> root (hd0,0) <-- i've tried also the hd1,0 with the same results grub> setup (h0,0) checking if /boot/grub/stage1 exists...yes checking if /boot/grub/stage2 exists...yes checking if /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 exists...yes Running embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0) 16 sectors succeeded Running install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+16p (hd1,0)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/grub.conf succeeded
But no luck with boot. Still a loop but this time nothing appears...
Recovery from a screwed MBR (Install GRUB)
- Boot with a rescue CD Go through the obligatory BS; network not needed
- 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.

Can you boot into any of these? > My disks > <snip fdisk dumps look ok>
