cd /boot/grub and check the device.map file. Assuming your system disk is /dev/sda it should have:
(hd0) /dev/sda
if it doesn't, modify it so it does and run:
grub-install /dev/sda
Also check the /boot/grub.conf file and see if the various files are being referenced to the correct device partition, it should be (hd0,0) if your system drive is the first device.
Hope this helps, Alastair
*I just tried an upgrade rather than a complete
reformat and install for the first time with
Fedora anything.
When it booted for the first time it stopped
with "grub" printed to the screen and apparently
sits there in its editor function waiting for
some command. I don't know what it wants or
what to do next.
FC6 is installed on an 80g sata drive replacing
a working FC5 install.
The "rescue disc" is not much help, probably
because I don't know the right command?
Any suggestions appreciated.
