Another possibility is that grub is not looking at the grub.conf file you think it is. Eg, if your /boot partition is not mounted then maybe there is a /boot directory on your / partition. I would try "grub-install --recheck /dev/hdi" if you can run Linux at all on this machine. If you can't you could still give that command under knoppix, or something like that. -- 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
