grub problem- keeps rebooting as soon as it tries to do grub

moesays · #1 (**permalink**) 11-06-2007

Hi, I installed solaris 10 a few weeks ago. It was working fine during the past two weeks. However, now when I start to load to the drive, I get this problem:
The BIOS screen comes up like normal, then screen goes blank and a message "Grub loading stage 2" flashes real quick then the computer reboots over and over.

I am using a Dell optiplex gx 620

Some people have had the same problem and reinstalled solaris, but I'm thinking that there has to be a way to at least just install the grub part, right? I put in the first install cd for solaris, but I didn't see an option that looked like what I needed. Thanks In Advance for any help you can give. I am new to unix and linux OSes.

Yes tou can re-install GRUB. See the FAQ:
