The device.map is from the FC3 installation which lists hd0,0 whereas the find /grub/grub.conf finds it on (hd2,0). When I ran the above commands (root & setup) things worked fine but I still end up with the system halting at GRUB when I try booting from the HD. I had changed the grub.conf file to refer to the (hd2,0) instead of (hd0,0) So it isn't finding the /grub/grub.conf? Now what should I try? Thanks Dave
