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) > > 1. Boot with a rescue CD > Go through the obligatory BS; network not needed > 2.
