Hi all, Several weeks ago, I installed a new motherboard in my Fedora system. During the switchover, the SATA drives (I have five) were reconnected in a slightly different order. As a result, the grub menu wasn't displayed; rather I was dumped into the grub prompt and had to boot manually (root..., kernel... initrd... boot). Just now, I tried to fix it by reconnecting the SATA drives in the order I think they should, but I have succeeded only in making things worse. Now I don't even get a the grub prompt; just an empty screen. Yes, I've googled this, yes, there lots of hits, but I can't seem to figure out what I need to do. From what I understand, the MBR of the first drive needs to point to the drive with the OS. In my case, the OS is on /dev/sdb. So, there needs to be something in the MBR on /dev/sda pointing to /dev/sdb1, which is /boot, no? Still, I seem to be missing part of the picture. Simply put, what do I need to do to be able to boot my system again? Thanks. ----- Colin Brace Amsterdam http://lim.nl -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/reinstalling-grub-MBR-on-first-drive-tp26530961p26530961.html Sent from the Fedora List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
