doing that grub-install /dev/sda will give me the "corresponding BIOS device" error. But now I fixed it by doing a manual grub install. first boot with cd1 and type linux rescue at the prompt when you're at the linux prompt after detecting and mounting the partitions, do a "chroot /mnt/sysimage" then # grub --batch #grub> root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0xfd grub> setup (hd0) 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 are embedded. succeeded Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+16 p (hd0,0)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/grub.conf"... succeeded Done. #grub> root (hd1,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0xfd #grub> setup (hd1) 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 (hd1)"... 16 sectors are embedded. succeeded Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd1) (hd1)1+16 p (hd1,0)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/grub.conf"... succeeded Done. #grub> quit Reboot, you're done. Question: A simple power outage will kill grub's mbr or am i just plain unlucky?
