Not really an answer to your problem, but it seems to me there is a very strong argument for having a separate /boot partition which is left alone when you upgrade or install. In your case I wonder if grub was confused about the disks? I'd try running Knoppix or Fedora in Rescue mode and say "grub-install --recheck /dev/hda" or whatever. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
