Hi,

Thanks a lot for your reply.
Yes, I tried running
Code:
grub> find /vmlinuz
 
Error 15: File not found.
 
grub>

I also ran:-
Code:
grub> root (hd0,   <tab>

this showd me 7 partitions

I checked each partition for /boot/ , I found boot on (hd0,6) but then when I run:-
Code:
grub> root (hd0,6)
 
grub> kernel /boot/  <tab>
grub> kernel /boot/

I am thinking, this means there is nothing inside /boot/

Is there any other location where vmlinuz can be found ?

Thanks,
Siva
