I'm not an expert in grub, but if I had been you I would have tried to find the Linux kernel and initrd in the grub conversation: root (hd0,0) [Do you have your /boot on /dev/sda1 ?] kernel /vmlin[TAB] [This will list available kernels] root=/dev/sda3 [or whatever] initrd /init[TAB] [Finish the initrd matching the kernel] boot If this succeeds in booting, remember to say "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" or whatever. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
