Rép. : Re: [K12OSN] GRUB Grrrr

Tue Oct 31 21:27:07 UTC 2006

It happens to me regularly. I use the first installation CD and i go
into linux rescue. Then i ask to have the root partition mounted,
(usually under /mnt/sysimage r something like that) and then i chroot
that mount point (the step is explained in a pop-up window). I reinstall
grub with grub-install /dev/sda for the mbr on the first sata disk.
Then the 3-finger salute!

Hi Mel,

Sata may be mounted as /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2,  /dev/sdb and so on. If
you have a how-to try mounting them per the howto but using the above.
Of course if you used LVM you may need to read here:

and here

I found a description on how to fix it but I have SATA drives and don't
know how to properly reference them.

Grrrr.

Any clues for a frustrated friend....  

When the machine restarted did it come up with the normal menu list of
the installed kernels?
