Hello Everyone,
I'm new to fedora core 4 and this list. I got my hands dirty pretty
fast, and now I can't get the dirt off......
That is, I somehow ended up in the GRUB command-line after
rebooting, after an uninstall of rehmudi packages. I don't know GRUB
and can't really follow the GRUB how-to's. . . What's the command to
boot up with the linux partition?
Thanks,
Gregorio
If you boot from the rescue disc, it should find your installation. If
it finds your Fedora installation, it should mount your installation as
/mnt/sysimage and if you have a seperate /boot partition, it will be
mounted as /mnt/sysimage/boot.
You will be directed by a prompt to run the chroot program with the
directory argument as /mnt/sysimage. This will change your directory
path to / for /mnt/sysimage and the //mnt/sysimage/boot partition will
be /boot.
Anyway, you should have the environment of your Fedora installation and
can run commands to recover/ reinstall grub to a working stage.
If you have ATA drives, running the below command should reinstall grub
and get you to where you can boot your system and grub is installed
correctly.
grub-install /dev/hda
This installs grub to your Master Boot Record where grub is usually
installed.
If I misunderstood your problem, please post more details related to
your failure. (Hard drive type, steps taken to install Fedora and how
you attempted to uninstall the other programs.)
