First, are we sure grub is actually running? Do you get anything at all? or just a blinking cursor? Does the splashimage come up? If it isn't running at all, then either the MBR got messed up or the BIOS reordered the disks, or something like that. One you get your shell from the rescue disk, run grub-install with the appropriate parameters. You probably need to do something like this: mkdir /boot mount /dev/sda1 /boot grub-install --root-directory=/boot /dev/sda umount /boot Assuming grub is starting, and you have verified the files are there, then maybe the UUID somehow got changed. Try changing that part to 'root=/dev/vg00/lv00', or whatever the vg and lv are. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
