Hallo,
Hi,
I'm in serious trouble here, can't get grub to boot my box anymore. Instead of showing the grub boot menu, it reboots.
Grub has to store some absolute file locations in the MBR area, because stage 1 doesn't know about file systems. It looks as if the file locations have changed when you restored the files. Start the rescue system on the installation CD/DVD and mount the installed root (/) filesystem to any convenient place, eg /mnt (if necessary, create the mount point). If you have separate /boot and /usr partitions, you will also need to mount those to /mnt/boot and /mnt/usr, respectively. Now do a "chroot /mnt" followed by "grub-install hd0" to re-install grub into the MBR of hd0. Note: you may wish to verify that hd0 is the scsi drive. This information is in /boot/grub/device.map (remember, you have done a chroot already), which on my system is contains (both are IDE drives): (hd1) /dev/hdb (fd0) /dev/fd0 (hd0) /dev/hda On your system, hd0 should probably be /dev/sda. -- The best way to accelerate a computer running Windows is at 9.81 m/s² -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
