Hello i have a problem my grub is gone. I have try to install Winsows
and this has killed grub. So now the only way to run linx is booting
via PXE. I have try to run groub-install /dev/sda1 but i will not work.
When i try to boot then via the hdd, i get the error 22 from grub.
What can i do? The FC2 installation is on /dev/sdd2.
Maybe you should try 'grub-install /dev/sda'
That will reinstall it into the MBR of your first scsi disk which is
where you probably want grub installed (rather than the first regular
partition - /dev/sda1)
If you did install grub on the boot partition rather than MBR may need to make it active, but this is unlikely if FC is all on sdd2. In any case, it's always a good idea to have a grub boot floppy prepared before letting Bill Gates mess with your machine:
grub-install /dev/fd0
Alternatively, can make a custom boot CD image with
mkbootdisk -iso <kernel>

p.s. rescue mode on you CD1 can get you to a shell that will let you chroot into your system (if that means anything to you ...)
