Does the grub prompt come up when you boot ???? It is does then Does it find the kernel (and initrd ) when you grub>kernel (hd1,0)/vmTAB ro root=/dev/hdc3 grub>initrd (hd1,0)/initrdTAB If it doesn't give grub> prompt then I have put a bootable grub CDROM image at www.vigla.eclipse.co.uk and I have been waiting for at least 10mins for someone to down load it and test it!!!! You can burn it with something like cdrecord -scanbus cdrecord dev=ATA:1,0,0 xxx.iso where you may or may not need the ATA: and the 1,0,0 matches the scanbus John
