Dear friends,
A few minutes ago, I had a few automatic updates (including Kernel
updates) for my Fedora 9, then rebooted and now I can't boot upagain.
After BIOS, I see a black screen with only "GRUB" written on it, and
nothing else happens.
What to do?
Take care
Oliver
Find out, what you root partition is and from what device you're booting
from.
Assuming, that you do not use dual booting and have only fedora on your
machine and assuming, that you're booting from the device /dev/sda here
are the instructions:
Download a rescue boot image and burn it on a cd. Download from this
mirror for example:
http://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/ftp/pub/Linux/fedora/linux/releases/9/Fedora/i386/os/images/boot.iso
Boot from that cd and choose "rescue system" at the boot prompt.
It's very likely, that the rescue routine will mount your system on the
directory /mnt/sysimage.
As instructed by the user interface run this command:
chroot /mnt/sysimage
From the point on you work in the same environment/os installation as
you normally boot directly.
Run this command:
grub-install /dev/sda
Type "exit"
then type
reboot
remove the cd from your drive and you will possibly be able to boot from
hard disk again.
