Heres what I got: grub> setup (hd0,0) Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... no Checking if "/grub/stage1" exists... yes Checking if "/grub/stage2" exists... yes Checking if "/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes Running "embed /grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0,0)"... failed (this is not fatal) Running "embed /grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0,0)"... failed (this is not fatal) Running "install /grub/stage1 (hd0,0) /grub/stage2 p /grub/grub.conf "... succ eeded Done. I am not sure if the failed stuff has anything to do with why its not booting up but maybe it does, just an idea... I don't really know this stuff too well as you can see...
