<br>I booted into rescue mode then issued a chroot /mnt/sysimage.<br>cd /boot/grub and check the device.map file. Assuming your system disk is /dev/sda it should have:<br><br>(hd0) /dev/sda<br><br>if it doesn't, modify it so it does and run:
<br><br>grub-install /dev/sda<br><br>Also check the /boot/grub.conf file and see if the various files are being referenced to the correct device partition, it should be (hd0,0) if your system drive is the first device.<br>
