It is a PITA, I agree, but I've found it very useful in sorting out the sort of problem you have, as it tells you if it can't find a partition, and has quite a good "completion" help with TAB. grub> root (hd0,1) grub> kernel boot/vmlinuz-<tab> grub> initrd boot/initrd... etc [Note that if you don't have a separate /boot partition you will have to say boot/vmlinuz...
