In any case, it is simpler to install grub on the MBR on /dev/hda grub-install --recheck /dev/hda Make sure /etc/grub.conf and /etc/fstab are correct first. If you continue to have problems try replacing labels in grub.conf and fstab by actual devices eg /dev/hda3 . -- 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
